Wi-Fi services are available across campus, enabling students to access online resources with ease. The integration of technology into the learning process further enriches the educational experience, preparing students for the digital future.
Strong Industry Partnerships and High Job Placement Rates
One of the standout features of Eldoret National Polytechnic is its robust collaboration with leading industries such as Mumias, Nzoia, Chemelil, Coca Cola, and Kenya Seeds Ltd. These partnerships provide students with valuable internship and employment opportunities, bridging the gap between education and the job market. As a result, over 85% of TENP graduates secure employment both locally and internationally, a testament to the practical, industry-relevant skills they acquire during their studies.
“We take pride in the high placement rate of our graduates. Our strong ties with the industry ensure that our students gain not just theoretical knowledge but also the hands-on experience needed to succeed,” said Dr. Koech.
Innovative and Market-Driven Curriculum
In response to the ever-changing job market, TENP continually updates its curriculum to reflect industry needs. The recent introduction of the Certificate in Construction Technician Course and the development of competency-based training in fields such as plumbing and painting are just a few examples of how the institution is staying ahead of the curve. With modern workshops equipped with cutting-edge tools, students are given the opportunity to acquire hands-on experience that sets them apart from their peers.
“We are dedicated to ensuring our curriculum remains relevant to market demands, enabling our students to be fully prepared for the challenges they will face in the workforce,” Dr. Koech added.

Located just 5 kilometers from Eldoret Town, TENP offers students a serene and conducive environment for learning. The rural-urban setting allows many students to live at home, significantly reducing accommodation costs. In addition, the strong relationships with the local community create a supportive atmosphere that enhances the student experience.
“We understand the importance of a supportive learning environment, and we strive to create a space where our students feel encouraged, empowered, and ready to take on the world,” Dr. Koech stated.
