KEMI Announces Free Virtual Training for Career Guidance Teachers Nationwide
The Kenya Education Management Institute (KEMI) has directed all school heads to nominate teachers for a crucial virtual training session on career guidance and counseling. Scheduled for June 11, 2026, the free program aims to bolster the implementation of the Competency Based Education (CBE) framework across primary, junior, and senior schools.
Directive to Institutional Heads
In an official circular dated June 8, 2026, addressed to all Heads of Institutions (HOIs) of Primary and Junior Schools, as well as Principals of Senior Schools, KEMI Chief Executive Officer Dr. Maurice Odondo outlined the urgent need to strengthen career guidance services within the education sector. The two-hour virtual training is slated to run from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Dr. Odondo emphasized the critical role of school leadership in facilitating this capacity-building initiative. The official letter explicitly requests institutional heads to nominate their designated Career Guidance and Counselling Teachers to participate in the upcoming program.
Logistics and Requirements
The management development institute has confirmed that the training program will be offered entirely free of charge to all selected educators. To ensure seamless participation, KEMI has mandated that all nominated teachers must have access to a reliable internet-enabled device.
According to the directive, the specific virtual meeting link and the detailed program schedule will be distributed directly to the nominated participants ahead of the scheduled training date.
Supporting the CBE Framework
As the primary capacity-building agency for the Ministry of Education, KEMI is mandated to provide management training, conduct research, and offer consultancy services within the education sector. This upcoming session is directly aligned with national efforts to support the ongoing rollout of the CBE framework, ensuring students receive adequate career orientation early in their academic journeys.
