Abstract
The purpose of this study is to assess institutional factors affecting
implementation of IT training program in govemment middle level TVET
institutes in Addis Ababa. To carry out the study three govemment middle
level TVET institutes were selected. A descriptive survey research method was
employed in the study. Besides, purposive, stratified, and simple random
sampling techniques were employed to select the study area and the research
participants. Trainers, trainees, principals, vocational counselors and
supervisors from the selected institutes were the participants of the study.
Questionnaire, interview and observational check list were used as data
collecting instruments. The obtained data were analyzed using percentages,
mean values, and rank order correlation coefficient. The results of the study
indicated that lack of competency of trainers, the inefficiency of management,
inadequacy of educational materials and facilities, and poor coordination in
facilitating apprenticeship were the major factors that affected the
implementation of information technology. Based on the findings of the study,
the mechanism of providing in-service training for trainers and principals, the
