The main purpose of the study was to assess the income
generating activities of selected TVET colleges in Addis Ababa. On

formulated and to conduct the current conditions of the income
generating activities in these selected TVET colleges, descriptive
survey method was employed. The study was conducted in 3
randomly selected TVET colleges. The sample populations of the
study were 37 section or department heads of the TVET colleges,
3 finance heads, 3 deans and 3 vice deans were also selected
using purposive sampling method. Close and open ended
questionnaire and interview questions were also used to gather
the required data from the aforementioned subjects of the study.
Out of the sample population analysis was made base d on 34
section heads and 8 interviewees. Accordingly, the results of
study depict that majority of the respondents responded as the
TVET colleges were not effective in implementing the income
generating and utilizing activities and there was lack of full
participation of staff members in developing income generating
activities guidelines, lack of clear financial guidelines, lack of full
autonomy of the TVET colleges were the major problems of the
TVET colleges. In light of these findings the study concluded as
even though there were some income generating activities in the
TVET colleges they are not well organized and the TVET colleges
did not use all potential sources of income and these problems can
affect the training of the TVET colleges and lack of clear guidelines
also affect the TVET colleges income generating and utilizing
activities transparently.
