Selection Guidelines

Below are guidelines that you should consider while selecting your training area and trainer selection:

  1. Select a training area that is in high demand or growing which will increase your chances of finding a job, use the Information above on areas with high employment results.
  2. Select a training area and trainer close to your location or in your sub-county to reduce the costs of your commute as KYEOP does not provide accommodation.
  3. Visit the Trainers (MC/FTP) you are interested in to find out more about the trainer and job prospects.
  4. Choose 4 different trainers (from one or more training areas) in the order of priority to increase your chances of participating in a trade of your choice.

It is very important that the above guidelines are followed. If you for example select a trainer whose location is far from where you live, you should be prepared to take care of the commute costs. 

Note that visiting trainers before choosing them gives you an upper hand at seeing first hand what they offer allowing you to make more informed choices. It’ll also reduce the chances that you’ll ask to make changes of either trainer or trade because you’ll have already seen what is being offered before hand and decided what suits you best.
