Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the perception of TVET
trainees toward entrepreneurship (self-employment) with the effect of sex and
department. Two hundred proportional stratified sixteen participants random
sampling were techniques selected considering using the
Department as independent variable for stratification .Likert scale- five point
perception attitude scales was considered for trainees questionnaires .
Purposive sampling was preferred to gather data from entrepreneurship
trainers (five in number), guidance, and counselors (three in numbers) through
interview.
A method of analysis was, mean, standard deviation and chi-
square to see the significance difference of the trainees perception. Moreover,
a two way ANOVA was employed to see the degree of perception difference
between male and female business, construction, and Industrial fields
(Department) of study.
The result showed that the perception of trainees toward entrepreneur (self-
employment) was positive with support the trainee received, and their interest
toward the field of study. Even though there was societal influence, the
trainees' perception towards motivations (recognition, basic needs and
reward) to entrepreneur is positive. However, it showed there was perception
difference between departments in being entrepreneur. As it was shown in
the study the society influence on females in becoming entrepreneur is less.
Hence, it is concluded that the trainees' perception toward entrepreneur is in
good condition. However, in order to get better condition the colleges should
strengthen their staffs with the knowledge of entrepreneurship .
