🏢 About the local organisation
The Sigul Polytechnic, found in the late 1970's, is a vocational training and education school. In the Polytechnic, departments of the interrelationships of human labor, business, technology, society, human needs and the natural environment, play together. Through practically orientated projects, the students are teached professions that are needed in the Kenyan labor market. The students are encouraged to discover their talents so that they can use them and later are able to stand on their own feet.
