#myskillsmyfuture Alumni Story  Pharell (Daktari’s) Story- Painting and Tile fixing Alumni at Sensei Institute- 2016 October. In his own words…. “I share this story as a beneficiary student of the skills gained at Sensei Institute of Technology. When I finished high school the first thing I was thinking was doing artisan course and I was eager to find a nice college to Join in especially upcountry since am from Coast, Kilifi County. I emailed Sensei   office and settled on doing the painting and decoration course first (I later came back to do another course of Tile Fixing course). I joined October 2016 as a painter student.

Construction Plant Operator Jane Njeri’s story You can do anything you put your mind to” , ….. Jane Nyokabi Njeri confidently proclaims to all young people who want to give up on life.

Excavating is recognized as one of the most hazardous construction operations hence the need to consider safety precautions. An Excavation is any man-made cut, cavity, trench, or depression in an earth surface that is formed by earth removal.  A Trench is a narrow excavation (in relation to its length) made below the surface of the ground.  In general, the depth of a trench is greater than its width, and the width (measured at the bottom) is not greater than 15 ft (4.6 m).  If a form or other structure installed or constructed in an excavation reduces the distance between the form and the side of the excavation to 15 ft (4.6 m) or less (measured at the bottom of the excavation), the excavation is also considered to be a trench.
