Probability and non-probability sampling techniques were used. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, document analysis, and observation schedule. The study yielded quantitative and qualitative data. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis of quantitative data with results presented in tables using frequencies and percentages. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 was used for data analysis. Qualitative data were organized under various themes and analyzed using inferential statistics. This involved running of Correlation and Regression in order to test the relationship between and among variables. The study established that: there was no significant difference between the Courses offered; entry qualification of Trainees; adequacy of infrastructure; teaching and learning resources and qualification of Trainers at Public TVET institutions and achievement of economic development of Western Kenya. The study recommends for; increased enrollment in MINT subjects that are critical for industrialization; hiking of entry grade of students to make TVET institutions attractive to more qualified students; improvement of TVET infrastructures to enhance skill and competence development; provision of adequate resources to support the teaching learning process and enhancement of in-service training of the TVET Trainers to promote development of relevant skills of Trainees. Since the study focused on Western Kenya, similar study of TVET in other regions/countries should be carried out.
