LRC pioneered Agriculture Apprenticeship in Kenya in 2008. The project introduced a new approach in agriculture training where the apprentices split their days between 30% classroom instruction and 70% on-the-job training at a real farm. This training approach is very different from the way agriculture is currently taught in Africa as it targets to teach more than skills and its goal is to produce competent workers who can solve problems.

Apprentices graduating from the project are skilled, thoughtful, self-reliant employees who can improvise when things go wrong or when they see an opportunity to improve an existing system. Apprenticeship project is designed to reach self-employed small scale farmers, graduates with no hands on technical skills and vulnerable individual aspiring to learn agribusiness. The apprenticeship project is a competence based education training and approved by Technical Vocational Education and Training Authority in Kenya.
