Non-state actors (NSAs) provide great support in the education and training sector globally. It is widely acknowledged that NSAs, if properly monitored and regulated in a transparent and enabling regulatory environment, are important partners in the attainment of Sustainable Development Goal Number 4 on Quality Education and Training. This study determined the impact of non-state- actors’ initiatives in the Kenyan TVET subsector. The study determined NSAs supporting the Kenyan TVET system, the skill trade areas supported by the NSAs programs, the nature of partnerships/collaborations with TVET institutions, the outcomes of the partnerships, and the employability of the beneficiaries. A descriptive research design was employed. The study targeted all the non-state actors and TVET institutions in Kenya. Stratified and simple random sampling was employed to obtain the desired sample size. A total of 208 institutions which represented 8.9% of the institutions accredited by TVETA (2330) were sampled for this study. A questionnaire, with both structured and open and closed-ended questions/statements, was developed and used for data collection. The questionnaire was designed using KOBO Collect. The data collected was cleaned, coded, and checked for quality, accuracy, and completeness. Quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS and Excel. The findings from the study revealed that a vast proportion (75%) of the institutions had established collaborations with the NSAs
