    The Purpose of this study was to examine and assess the linkages between the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Institutes and the Nficro and Small Business Enterprise sector in the world of work. To this end, a descrljJtive survey method was employed. The rational for selecting this method is that is appropriate to reveal the detail of the issue under the study and describes and intelprets )vhat is. It is concerned with realities that exist, opinions that are held, processes that are going on, and effects that are evident. The sample population, sample size and sampling techniques were determined to use in that the sample population were Fom TVET colleges, and middle level technical institutes which comprised principals, deans, trainers, vocational and guidance counselors and TVET Agency officials; both the NfSE sector administrators and co-op based job placement members were the subjects to the study. AccordinglyJour (36.4%) out of 11 TVET institutes, three (30%) out of ten sub-cities and 9 kebeles (10%) out of 99 were selected for the Micro and Small Enterprise administrators and MSE operators. Therefore, out of 396 TVET members, 130 (35.4%), out of 165 MSE administrators, 60 (36.4%) and out of 954 MSE operators, 180 (/8.7%) were taken. The researcher employed simple random sampling technique for TVET staff, MSE administrators and MSE operators; pwposive and availability sampling technique for TVET and MSE higher officials. Data were collected by questionnaires, interviews and focal group discussion. Based on this, three main groups of questionnaire were used to collect data Fom the sample population and then intelpreted analyzed and summarized into the main jindings, and finally concluding remarks and recommendations have been made based on major mastelpiece of the study. The results of the study disclosed that the linkages between the TVET and MSE sectors in the world of work was weak; therefore, the MSE co-op basedjob operators haven't got standard and progressive supports to jill their technical, entrepreneurial skill, etc. The result also depicted negative altitude towards the TVET and MSE programmes which increases for the presence of less quality training, less quality of products and services. The study pointed out that there was a shortage of readiness to help and motivate the MSE operators via stakeholders though the effort of the government is better. The MSE operators complained that the assignment of supervisors and experts to the sectors were irrelevant and irresponsible. As a result, the lI1.SE operators have had serious problems which forced them to remain poor and give up their entelprise and go with loss. Hence the TVET institutes, the MSE higher officials, confident stakeholders and the city government recommended that their bond linkages and integral relationship to alleviate the serious problems of the co-op based job MSE operators is essential and mandatory; otherwise, the campaign to fight unemployment, underemployment and poverty reduction strategy will remain in vain and the question of underdevelopment will be high and irreversible. Therefore, to comment safely, the city's Micro and Small Enterprise Developmel1l Agency, TVET Agency, sub-citylkebele administrations and other stakeholders suggested that to work together with no haphazard way of facilitating, supporting, leading and supervising to pelform activities like occupational analysis, tracer study, training needs assessment, establishing strong connection with enterprises, vocational guidance and counseling should determine to bring change.
