##article.abstract##
One of the objectives of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is to impart adequate and appropriate skills to trainees, consistent with the emerging technologies at all levels of the economy. However, despite the government’s effort to equip TVET institutions with workshops the quality of training is still low with inadequate and some outdated facilities coupled with undue emphasis on theory and certification, which is attributed to poor utilization of workshop facilities. The study was guided by the objective; to determine the degree to which syllabus relevance affected the utilization of workshop facilities for skills acquisition in public TVET Institutions in Kenya. To achieve the objective a sample of 298 respondents was selected consisting of students, technicians and teachers from three TVET institutions within Nairobi County, Kenya. Stratified, purposeful and simple random sampling methods were applied in choosing the participants. The observation schedule and the respondents’ interview through questionnaires were the data collection instruments. Through ANOVA test findings, the variable influenced the workshop facility utilization significantly at . There was a positive and significant relationship between the relevance of the facility and equipment to its utilization level with Pearson Correlation value of 0.366 and p-value 0.000.
