The study adopted a cross-sectional survey research design. Stratified random sampling was used to sample 172 students. Data was collected using questionnaires and analysed through the theoretical lenses of globalisation and vocationalism. The results show that the provision of modern equipment has improved Kenyan TVET classrooms to meet industrial standards and allowed the development of essential skills. Also, there has been improved collaboration between TVET institutions and local industries, exposing TVET students to the real labour market while still in college. The TVET students had also improved confidence in themselves and they had acquired employability skills. The findings of this study further revealed that the government of Kenya has increased its efforts in revitalizing the TVET institutions with modern teaching and learning equipment to improve the quality of training in those institutions.Caroline MusyimiCommonwealth of Learningarticletechnical vocational education and trainingteaching and learning equipmentvocational education qualityindustrial standardsTheory and practice of educationLB5-3640ENJournal of Learning for Development, Vol 8, Iss 1, Pp 182-191 (2021)
