Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the training and factors affecting
the employment opportunities of graduates of private health TVET colleges
in Addis Ababa. To realize the purpose of the study, descriptive survey
research design was employed. The study was carried out in five private
health TVET colleges, which were selected using stratified random
sampling techniques. A total of 128 graduates from selected private health
colleges, 20 instructors, 5 deans, two key officials of technical and
vocational education and training Agency, two Competency Occupation
Center (COC) officials, 15 HRM (Human Resource Managers) of both
government and private hospitals, health centers and Non-governmental
organization (NGO) health facilities and departments of all selected health
facilities were involved in the study. Percentage and mean value were
employed to analyze the data. Based on the analyses, it was found out
that most of the instructors have less than five years work experience, in
adequate materials provision in the laboratory and demonstration,
instructors were not well planned and committed, examinations were not
given according to schedule, and students faced problems in
apparenticips. Accordingly conclusion were showing that the quality of
education and practice in both in school and apparenticips were not as it
were expected to be implemented, and greatly affected the employment
opportunities of graduates from private TVET health colleges, since the
health profession needs a great care and have involvement directly to
human life. Finally, the study recommended that TVET health institutions
in collaboration with Addis Ababa TVET agency need to motivate
instructors both in materials and non-materials incentives. TVET agency
and Ministry of Health (MoE) should have a devise and develop plan to
help the health facilities to work in collaboration with health colleges in
apparenticips, so as to bring the desired effect on the quality of graduates.
Policies should be revised and there should be controlling mechanisms,
where students can get enough knowledge and skill in the teaching-
learning activities as well as apparenticips
