Skills development and processes in Kenya are examined through policy development and delivery, and the need for continuous learning acknowledged and demonstrated. Lifelong education and training is well articulated and discoursed alongside the benefits that can be accrued from it. Three models anchor lifelong learning and training and are discussed herein and their contribution to the topic justified. These models are: Behaviourism, Cognitivism and Constructivism.
