The Machakos Institute of Technology is a Limited Liability Company by shares operating as a training institution under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology.

The Institute is located in Machakos town on Mbolu Malu Road, on the first and second floor of Kinyali Building. The Main Campus is located at the Machakos – Mombasa Junction. The Institute offers Short, Artisan, Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses. Courses offered include; school of social work and community development, school of counselling and psychology, school of business education, school of computing and information communication technology, school of applied and health sciences,school of accounts and finance, school of hospitality management , school of information science, school of journalism and mass communication and school of teacher education. The Institute runs consultancy services in all its schools.

There has been great expansion in primary and secondary education over the years without a corresponding increase in mid- level training colleges and universities. This has led to the inability of majority of KCSE school leavers to access training, leading to a huge training gap. Inadequate skills at the middle level are harmful to the industry and society since the technological gap prevents it from social-economic advancement. Machakos Institute of Technology comes in to specifically address these skill gaps in order to spur the country towards attaining its vision of industrialization by 2030.
