Abstract

Hunger, disease and unemployment have been the bane of many developing nations of Africa. One major challenge facing governments of these nations is how to provide jobs for functional living. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is recognized as a panacea to unemployment. TVET trains individuals to acquire skills and knowledge in various occupations. The training however, must engender in those individuals the will to propose and solve problems related to human needs and development. In this regard, while educational institutions, especially at the tertiary level, select, train, and develop their students, government and the private sector must make concerted effort to provide employment for the people. The training provided by TVET should not only equip individuals to be gainfully employed but should also enable them become employers of labour, contributing to the economic development of a nation. TVET graduates should be able to set up small and medium scale enterprises in various occupations. Factors that impede graduates of the TVET system from progressing on the career lane are poor planning, socio-cultural factors, lack of credit facilities, availability and cost of spare parts. To deal with these problems, provision of loan facilities, increased funding and organization of workshops and seminars have been advocated.
