| dc.description.abstract | TVET has become one of the tools for economic recovery and development. In the context of Ethiopia 's national strategy, TVET is meant to contribute to a large scale dissemination of scienti fic and technologica l know-how, facilitate job creation and enhance the quality of life by expanding the students' technical capacity and promoting professional skills which would help them to improve th eir livelihoods . Concerning the Afar reg ional state, the establishment of modern education is a recent phenomenon . Particularly, TVET Colleges were established very recently. One of the discouraging factors for self-employment was lack of guarantee for the private enterprises in the face of unexpected crises. Lack of industriousness and low expansion of investment were the other discouraging factors for self-employment. This study has attempted to explore the challenges and opportunities of selfemployment to TVET trainees and graduates by collecting data from primary and secondary sources. Primary sources refer to information obtained from in terviews , focus group discussions and document analysis. Such sources were pivotal since they depicted the actual phenomena in the study area. Secondary sources were also used to give a broader background of issues drawn from conceptual framework for the study. Most of such secondary sources were books and some materials that deal with the existing two TVET colleges in Afar regional state. The findings revealed that the TVET trainees ' have a negative attitude towards selfemployment for several reasons. Such reasons are explained in detail. Also this study has found out that the institutional capacity of the TVETs is also too weak. Hence, th is study has unearthed the challenges and opportunities of TVET and has provided a set of conclusions and recommendations in line with original data gathered in the study area . Hence, among other things, it is suggested that to tackle such problems working on altitudinal change towards TVETs and improving the institutiona l capacities and facilities of the TVET institutions suggested being mandatory. | en_US |
