According to their cooperation deals, the three sides will press ahead with the academic building of construction engineering technology, integrate formal education with vocational training, provide trainees with high-quality education on Chinese language and technical skills, and seek to nurture a group of Kenyan talents capable of mastering Chinese and construction engineering technology. So far, they have accomplished the research and development of course platforms and four central course resources. 

In the future, they look forward to making full use of the Luban Workshop platform in the training of teachers and foreign employees and the promotion of cooperation between Chinese firms and local clients.
