With Dr. Charles Koech at the helm as Chief Principal, this polytechnic has emerged as a powerhouse of transformation, offering not just education but a pathway to prosperity for thousands of young Kenyans.
A Visionary Leader with a Purpose
Dr. Charles Koech is no ordinary leader. Under his visionary guidance, the Eldoret National Polytechnic has grown from a traditional middle-level college into an engine of innovation and opportunity. With a deep understanding of Kenya’s shifting economic landscape, Dr. Koech has set the institution on a mission to equip students with practical skills, leadership qualities, and the mindset needed to succeed in today’s competitive job market.
Learning Meets Opportunity
At TENP, education is more than textbooks and lectures—it’s a dynamic experience that prepares students for real-world challenges. With strong ties to industry leaders such as Mumias Sugar Company, Rivatex East Africa, and international development organizations like the EU and MasterCard Foundation, students gain access to invaluable internships, mentorships, and career-launching partnerships. It’s no surprise that TENP boasts an 85% graduate employment rate, with alumni excelling both locally and internationally.
Innovation at Every Corner
Dr. Koech has spearheaded initiatives that position TENP as a cutting-edge institution. The polytechnic’s state-of-the-art computer labs, paired with high-speed internet, allow students to immerse themselves in the digital age. Courses in information technology, construction, and engineering are delivered through both traditional methods and modern e-learning platforms, ensuring that students graduate with the skills needed to thrive in an increasingly tech-driven world.
Expanding Horizons
Under Dr. Koech’s leadership, TENP isn’t just expanding its course offerings—it’s expanding its reach. With satellite campuses now established in Bomet, Entebes, and Turkana East, more students than ever before are able to access affordable, high-quality education. These campuses cater to the unique needs of their regions, offering market-driven programs that prepare students for local industries and global opportunities.
Beyond Academia
What truly sets TENP apart, however, is its commitment to holistic student development. From nurturing entrepreneurial skills to fostering community leadership, the polytechnic goes beyond academics. Through clubs, workshops, and mentorships, students are encouraged to think creatively, lead confidently, and contribute positively to society.
A Catalyst for Kenya’s Growth
At the heart of TENP’s mission is the belief that education is a catalyst for social change. Under Dr. Koech’s leadership, the institution has become a beacon of hope, providing students from all backgrounds the chance to break the cycle of poverty and create better futures for themselves and their communities. With each graduating class, Eldoret National Polytechnic sends skilled, ambitious young professionals into the workforce, ready to drive Kenya’s economy forward.
