Maccura Skills-to-Income Innovation Institute
A contemporary, market-oriented institution in Kapsabet, Nandi County, serving learners, entrepreneurs, farmers, businesses and communities across the North Rift.
Skills that become income
The Maccura Skills-to-Income Innovation Institute (SIII) responds to the need for accessible, practical and employment-oriented training that enables individuals to acquire relevant skills within a short period and apply them to income generation, self-employment, enterprise development or improved employment prospects.
Unlike conventional training institutions that depend primarily on tuition fees and formal academic programmes, Maccura integrates three complementary departments (training, research and enterprise) into one coordinated model.
To become a leading North Rift centre for practical skills, applied research, digital innovation and sustainable enterprise.
To equip individuals and communities with market-relevant skills, generate actionable data and knowledge, and develop profitable enterprises that create jobs, strengthen livelihoods and contribute to sustainable local development.
Three departments, one coordinated model
Training develops practical competencies, research generates evidence and provides professional services, and commercial enterprises create revenue, employment and real-world learning opportunities.
