David Oduor

Former Student, Class of 2024
“I had very little Electrical knowledge before joining the electrical installation course at our VTC. The hands-on training, especially in plan, repair and installation of electrical, gave me the confidence to apply for jobs. I am now working as an electrical engineer at a local firm, and I owe it all to the supportive instructors and practical learning environment.”
