Introduction: Africa has over 100 million unskilled youth who are either under-employed or un-employed. African countries have adopted TVETs to develop these youth professionally and, with technical competencies. Investing in TVET is costly hence some developing countries like Kenya face efficiency challenges in regard to resource utilization and students flow through the school system at various levels of education and programs. The government of Kenya has in the recent past undertaken several initiatives in TVETs to enhance the development of this unit of education. This study sought to establish the influence of government financing for TVET trainees on the internal efficiency of TVETs in Rift Valley Region, Kenya. Research Methods: The study was based on the Durkheim theory. Mixed research design was used. A pragmatist research philosophy was adopted. The study was carried out in the Rift Valley Region, Kenya. A sample of 109 respondents comprising of 12 principals, 96 heads of departments and 1 TVETA officer was used. This was drawn from a population of 12 principals, 127 heads of departments and 1 regional TVETA officer. Stratified random sampling, proportionate sampling and simple random sampling techniques were employed in obtaining the sample size. Questionnaires and an interview schedule were used for collecting data. Validity and reliability for these instruments was established before starting data collection. Analysis of data was done using descriptive, inferential statistics and content analysis. Results & Analysis: Results showed that government financing for TVET trainees had a positive and significant effect on enrolment, retention and completion rates, hence, a positive impact on TVET internal efficiency of (β=0.083, p < 0.05).
