Abstract
TVET has been given an important place in the Education system of the country since 2002 in order to
obtain the necessary skilled man power for the nations’ economy. As a result Policies and strategies
were designed and enormous TVET trainees involved in this sector. The purpose of this study was to
assess the implementation phase aimed at investigating the problems that cause low performance of
trainees in CoC assessment. Nefas Silk and Tegibare-id colleges were selected as the study area. In
order to develop detail conceptual framework, literatures were reviewed and analyzed. Then
descriptive study was employed to: assess the placement of trainees with relation to their interests,
assess the availability and utilization of facilities and instruction materials, evaluate the training
process conducted during the implementation phase, evaluate how the management body performs
its role for the accomplishment of the established policies and strategies of the training program,
evaluate the contribution of cooperative training, and assess the results of trainees and possible
reasons for their low performance. The study revealed that some trainees are assigned to the field of
studies in which they do not prefer to be trained, shortage as well as under utilization of training
materials, excluding relevant courses from some field of studies, high turnover of trainers, skill
deficiency of trainers and the management body. From this evidence the training program conducted
in those colleges indicate that though TVET program is designed to provide the necessary skilled man
power for the economy the actual performance of the program failed to achieve its objectives due to
misplacement of trainees, under utilization of available human and non-human resources, and lack of
competent management body. Therefore the respective government body is required to give great
emphasis at the practical area of the training program besides to the development of policies and
strategies
