    The principal aim of undertaleing this research study was to investigate major problems hindering effective apprenticeship training in the TVET institutions In Dire-Dawa. To this end, an attempt was made to examine the roles and responsibilities of TVET institutions, the organizations and the trainees, the degree of cooperation between TVET institutions and organizations and major factors such as financial, managerial and social issues. A descriptive survey method was employed for the study. Three sample TVET institutions were selected on the basis of purposive sampling techniques. The samples used for the study were 3 deans, 3 vocational counselors, 163 trainees and 20 worleplace supervisors. The respondents' sampling was carried out through availability, purposive, stratified and random sampling techniques, depending on the size and the nature of the sample respondents. The data for the study was obtained through questionnaires, interviews and relevant documents, and analyzed using percentages and chi-square test methods. The results of the study depicted that inadequate co-operation between TVET institutions and enterprises, reluctance of entelprises to offer training, financial and managerial problems made the apprenticeship training program ineffective. Thus, trainees suffered from hardships of obtaining training places, left unattended in the worleplace, assigned on non-relevant workplaces and the sleill they obtained were very low. Hence, it was concluded that the state of TVET institutions in the region exhibits challenges in implementing apprenticeship training effectively. Therefore, it is recommended that to build the capacity of TVET institutions with qualified trainers and relevant up to date machineries, equipment and other inputs; relevant authorities expected to establish a special unit incorporating chambers of commerce and industry, regional TVET council, TVET institutions and other stakeholders to overtalee the responsibility to implement sustainable apprenticeship training.
