🛠️ TVET for Post-Conflict Societies: The Role of Delight Technical College
In many post-conflict societies across Africa, rebuilding goes far beyond infrastructure. True recovery means empowering individuals—especially youth—with the skills, confidence, and tools to shape a more peaceful, prosperous future. That’s where Delight Technical College steps in.
As a leading TVET institution in Nairobi, Delight is playing a vital role in healing, reintegration, and empowerment, particularly for students from countries like South Sudan, DR Congo, Somalia, and beyond.
🎓 1. Skills That Rebuild Lives
Post-conflict societies often struggle with unemployment, youth frustration, and a lack of practical training. Delight offers courses that directly address these gaps:
- Fashion & Design – encouraging creativity and entrepreneurship
- Construction & Engineering – for infrastructure rebuilding
- Digital Media & ICT – to tell new narratives and embrace innovation
- Business & Entrepreneurship – to foster job creation
- Culinary Arts & Hospitality – to tap into growing industries
đź’ˇ Graduates gain not only technical knowledge but also dignity, income, and purpose.
🕊️ 2. A Space for Healing and Reconnection
Delight goes beyond the classroom. For youth affected by war, displacement, or trauma, the college provides:
- Mentorship and counseling services
- Peer support groups
- Faith-based guidance and social integration activities
- A diverse, inclusive campus with students from across East Africa
💬 “At Delight, I met people from many countries. It changed my perspective—we learned to build, not break,” says Michael from South Sudan.
🌍 3. Promoting Peace Through Practical Education
TVET isn’t just about getting a job—it’s about restoring community and hope. Delight plays a key role in:
- Reintegration of former child soldiers and displaced youth
- Skill-building for returnees and repatriated students
- Gender equality in education, especially for girls from conflict zones
- Bridging ethnic, regional, and national divides through teamwork and creativity
🕊️ By giving youth tools to contribute positively to society, Delight helps break cycles of conflict and dependency.
đź’Ş 4. Preparing Leaders for the Future

- Run businesses back home
- Train others in tailoring, ICT, or construction
- Lead community projects or youth organizations
- Work for NGOs and peacebuilding initiatives
🎯 “My technical training became the foundation for my peacebuilding project in Bor,” shares Ayak, a graduate of Fashion & Business.

Delight works to ensure that no motivated student is left behind by offering:
- Scholarships and sponsorships
- Low-cost and flexible fee structures
- Refugee and displaced youth support programs
