Abstract
Recently, TVET has become a subject for discussion at summits, academic conferences and at policy circles in most developing countries including Kenya. TVET institutions facilitate the acquisition of the practical and applied skills as well as basic scientific knowledge. However, many research findings have revealed that TVET has been limited on practical skill acquisition in most countries. On the other hand, the partnership between TVET institutions and private sectors would greatly encourage and augment a partnership that will result to graduate employability and practical skill acquisition. Therefore, this study sought to establish the effect of PPP- TVET institutions collaboration on practical training. Multiple case-study design was adopted for the study. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were applied to select TVET and enterprise officials respectively. Questionnaires and interview guides were used in data collection. Data collected was analyzed using Multiple Attribute Utility Theory, (MAUT) and results presented in tabular and graphical forms. The findings indicate that the contribution of enterprise in establishment of workshops and laboratories, donation of equipment and equipment sharing was quite low (below 30%). However, the contribution of enterprise in industrial training and internship stood was excellent (100 %). Majority of the respondents believed that enterprise contribution is considerable only in the areas of industrial training and internships. Therefore, provision should be made to involve experts from local industries as guest faculty to conduct practical classes.
