The ministry has also established a department of youth training, headed by a director and deputy directors. At the back of the programme is an effort to equip youth with skills to help them manage businesses, to be established using the Sh1 billion Youth Fund.
The ministry has also developed a policy document that will help coordinate the activities of the colleges.
Acting head of youth training at the ministry, Ms Lydia Mbwiria, said the institutions will now offer a standard curriculum, which will be "flexible to allow easy entry and exit of learners."
Under the new curriculum - developed jointly with the United Nations Development Fund - it will be easier for students to drop out and rejoin the institutions at specified times.
The students will also be able to further their courses at the universities.
