The government has officially endorsed Kenya’s first exclusively online TVET platform, expanding affordable technical training access for youth.
The Kenyan government has officially sanctioned the launch of the nation’s first entirely digital Technical and Vocational Education and Training platform, a groundbreaking initiative designed to democratize technical skills acquisition. Spearheaded by the EUNI Training Institute in strategic collaboration with the European Business University of Luxembourg, the eTVET model eliminates geographical and financial barriers that have historically sidelined marginalized youth and persons with disabilities.
The stakes for Kenya’s economic future are profound. As the country grapples with chronic youth unemployment and a rapidly evolving digital economy, traditional brick-and-mortar technical institutes struggle to absorb the vast number of secondary school graduates. By migrating practical skills training to an exclusively online framework, the government aims to forge a highly competent, globally competitive workforce capable of servicing the international labor market directly from their home counties.
Expanding Access, Empowering Futures: The CAF and EBU Scholarship Impact
In an increasingly digital world, access to education should not be limited by physical, financial, or structural barriers. This belief formed the foundation of the partnership between the Crystal Asige Foundation and the European Business Institute (EBU) — a collaboration focused on making inclusive, accessible, and career-relevant education a reality for persons with disabilities across Kenya.
A First Cohort That Set the Foundation
The response to the first intake was a clear reflection of the need and demand for inclusive education.
Over 4,000 applications were received
850 persons with disabilities were successfully enrolled
Through a fully online, scholarship-supported model, learners gained access to structured courses across business, technology, and professional fields. More importantly, they gained confidence, digital skills, and the opportunity to participate in formal education systems designed with accessibility in mind.

For many students, this was more than a course, it was a first step toward independence, employability, and inclusion.
Feedback from the students
Designed for Accessibility, Built for Inclusion
At the core of this initiative is a learning environment intentionally designed to remove barriers.
The virtual learning platform is built on a Learning Management System aligned with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Level AA, ensuring equal access to information and functionality for all learners.
Key accessibility features include:
Compatibility with screen readers, with continuous improvements such as alt text for all images
Learning materials available in multiple formats — including text, audio, and video
Accessible assessments, including quizzes with multiple-choice questions instead of complex interactions like drag-and-drop
A system designed to be perceivable, operable, understandable, and compatible for users with varying levels of visual and hearing ability
This approach ensures that accessibility is not an add-on — but a core part of the learning experience.
Learning That Leads to Opportunity
Beyond academic completion, the program focuses on equipping learners with practical, future-ready skills. Students engage with structured content, develop digital literacy, and build the discipline required for online learning and professional environments.
The initiative also connects graduates to broader opportunities, including pathways into internships, entry-level roles, and continued professional development.
A Growing Impact — Applications Now Open
Building on the success and lessons of the first cohort, the Crystal Asige Foundation, in partnership with EBU, is proud to announce a new intake of scholarships.
These scholarships continue to focus on empowering persons with disabilities through accessible, high-quality education designed for real-world impact.
Applications are now open — and spaces are limited.
The journey toward inclusive education is ongoing. The first cohort demonstrated both the potential and the importance of designing systems that are accessible, supportive, and outcome-driven.
Through continued collaboration, innovation, and commitment, the CAF × EBU partnership remains focused on one goal:
Ensuring that education is not just accessible — but truly inclusive, empowering, and transformative.
With the advent of AI, Higher education is experiencing a period of rapid transformation, and at EBU (European Business Institute of Luxembourg), we are leading the way in reimagining student engagement and assessment. Traditional exams and essays, while still valuable, increasingly fall short in capturing the breadth of student achievement and readiness for today’s evolving AI driven workforce. Globally, surveys highlight this urgency: according to the European Commission, 39% of employers pinpoint graduate skill gaps as a hiring challenge, and recent data from The World Economic Forum indicates that 44% of workers’ core skills are expected to change by 2027.
To address these realities, our institute is committed to a progressive, evidence-based approach
Interactive and Active Learning
We integrate debates, real-world business simulations, and team-based projects into every program. Education research suggests that students retain up to 75% more knowledge through active learning compared to passive methods. In our classrooms, interactive breakout rooms, polls, quizzes, and ongoing online discussion forums are seamlessly embedded in the course delivery, driving higher participation and meaningful engagement.
Authentic and Alternative Assessments
At the EBU, we go beyond standard exams by implementing portfolios and oral presentations. We ensure an environment of learning that evolves with the times. This approach not only provides richer feedback but is also supported by data studies that show that new authentic assessment methods can increase student motivation and performance by up to 30%. Our instructors are also continuously rubric assessed for instructional skills in providing a holistic evaluation of their competency and classroom readiness.
Workforce Alignment through Flexible Course Design
Let’s be clear, our course design emphasizes collaboration, flexibility, and real-world problem solving. Structured group peer assignments and scenario-based learning mirror workplace demands. We prioritize assignments that challenge students to apply theoretical knowledge to current industry challenges, ensuring that our graduates are equipped with both the hard and soft skills in demand. As universities worldwide note rising concerns over graduate employability, our data-driven innovations ensure EBU alumni stand out.
In summary, education at the European Business Institute of Luxembourg is not just keeping pace with change; we intend to define new standards of excellence for tomorrow’s leaders and professionals.
Prof. Dr. James Mulli Academic Dean European Business Institute of Luxembourg
When you hear the word peace, what comes to mind? Is it the absence of war? The safety of your community? The ability to express yourself freely without fear?
Peace is more than just the silence of conflict—it’s a measurable, dynamic process that affects every part of our lives. Yet, in a world where headlines are filled with tensions, crises, and uncertainty, understanding how peace works is more important than ever.
Why Is It Important to Measure Peace?
Many people are surprised to learn that peace can be measured. Tools like the Global Peace Index (GPI) and the Positive Peace Index (PPI) give us a clear picture of how peaceful a country is—not just based on conflict, but also on safety, security, governance, and social resilience.
EBU is offering a Foundations of Peace course, where you’ll explore how these indexes work and discover what they reveal about your own country and the world at large. You’ll also learn how these measurements can guide policies, community programs, and even personal choices.
How Can I Build Peace in My Own Life and Community?
Peacebuilding isn’t just for diplomats and international organizations, it’s for everyone. The Foundations of Peace course will help you develop practical skills such as:
Nonviolent communication to resolve conflicts constructively.
Peace journalism to challenge harmful narratives.
Systems thinking to see how economic, environmental, and social factors connect.
AI-assisted reflection and problem-solving for modern peace challenges.
You’ll also explore inspiring real-world examples of peacebuilding in action from grassroots initiatives to global movements showing you how peace can start small and ripple outward.
Whether you’re a student, community leader, educator, or simply someone who wants to make a difference, the Foundations of Peace course will give you the tools to understand and contribute to peace in a meaningful way.

Cybercrime costs businesses and governments trillions of euros every year. In 2023, losses reached $8 trillion globally, with projections hitting $10.5 trillion by 2025. The demand for cybersecurity professionals has never been higher, yet there is a global skills gap of nearly 4 million experts. (Source: Cybersecurity Ventures)
In Kenya alone, cybercrime caused losses of $83 million (KSh10.71 billion) in 2023, ranking it second in Africa after Nigeria ($1.8 billion). Uganda, Botswana, and Lesotho also reported significant financial impacts. Businesses in Kenya reportedly spent an average of $4.35 million (KSh561 million) per cyberattack to restore services.
