Abstract
The main objective of this study was to assess the status and challenge of cooperative training
in government TVET colleges/institutions of Arada and Gulele sub cites and thereby to identify
the implementation and constraints, then to provide alternative solution to the identified
problems. The research methodology employed in this study was descriptive survey method.
Primary as well as secondary sources of data were used. The primary sources of data were
trainees, trainers, industry trainers/ supervisors/, Deans, Vice-Deans, sub city sector heads and
organizational mangers. As a secondary source of data annual reports, books. journals and
other printed documents were used. Questionnaires, interviews and focus group discussions
were prepared, collection and analyzed. The improved questionnaires were administered to a
sample of 565 subjects composed of 460 trainees, 80 trainers and 25 supervisors or industry
trainers. A total of 467 (82.7 percent) of the questionnaires were properly filed in and returned.
The data gathered were analyzed using statistical techniques such as percentage and chi-square
to tests if there is significant difference between the observed frequencies and expected one and
then the findings were recorded. The following were the major findings: It was found that there
was no any oral or written orientation which assists trainees for better achievement of
cooperative training. The majority of respondents claimed that cooperative training was not
arranged at the end each competence rather after three or four competencies. There were no
incentives given for those organizations which participate in cooperative training. It was found
that memorandum of understanding was not signed between trainees, colleges/institutions and
organizations. Absence of insurance for possible accident happened on trainees at the company
training time. Hence from the result of this study, it is possible to conclude that the status and
challenges of cooperative training in government colleges/institutions was not implementation as
of the strategy and the guideline. Therefore, to alleviate the above problems, recommendations
were suggested. The suggested recommendations included: creating awareness and adequate
orientation for trainers. trainees, organizations and supervisors (industry trainers). creating
conducive environment for proper implementation of cooperative training. signing memorandum
of understanding before cooperative training conducted. The government must arrange new
incentive mechanisms for organizations which give cooperative training jointly with TVET
institutions/colleges.
