| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of the study was to assess the employability of Adama University graduates of the Industrial Department in the years 2000- 2006. To this end, the study employed a descriptive survey method and a purposive sampling technique to select 142 employed graduates currently working in Addis Ababa city Administration, three DepartmentHeads,27 Instructors and 10 Assistant Instructors out of 60 staff members of the University in the Industrial Department .Moreover, a snow ball sampling technique was used to select20 unemployed graduates in Addis Ababa. Accordingly, the study involved a total of 202 samples. The data were gathered through three sets of questionnaires . The first set was administered to the employed graduates, the second set to the University staff members ,and the third set was filled by the unemployed graduates. The data were analyzed quantitavely, using frequency distribution,percentages,spearman rankorder,and chi-square procedurally. The analysis revealed that the employment rate of the graduates had been decreasing from the year 2000 t02006, the relation between the University and employing agencies was ranked first among the factors determining employability of the graduates, the training is relevant to the existing labour market only to some extent .And finally it was observed that there was a mismatch between the syllabus of the University and that of the National TVETs resulting in the occurrence of a skill gap among most of the graduates. From the analysis, it was recommended that the university should strengthen its relation with employing agencies, its syllabus s hould be revised to match with that of the National TEVEs ,and conduct a tracer study on the actual labour market condition to improve the employability of the graduates .. | en_US |
