On completion of the project, the institution will host 1000 students beginning January 2020 who shall be equipped with skills to turn them from job seekers into job creators.
The new facilities include a motor vehicle workshop complete with inspection pit, metal processing workshop, electrical welding workshop, and a modern kitchen and dining hall.
The project is part of a pledge by the county government to upgrade two technical training institutes to the national level, and is in line with countrys agenda to revive technical training.

As part of encouraging students enrolment, the institution is awarding tokens to students who manage to bring other students on board. The tokens include fee subsidy, cash reward and other incentives.
