The renewed focus on technical vocational education and training (TVET) is important for human resource development (HRD), as it expands current understanding of its role in economic development through workforce...

In recent years, organisations such as the African Development Bank (AfDB), and several African governments have conceded that TVET may have a positive impact on harnessing the youth dividend. There has been some progress in some countries, but there is still insufficient understanding of the place of TVET and youth skills development. The criticisms of TVET in the past, and attitudes toward it, coupled with a period of neglect by governments and donors have all resulted in insufficient...

This paper examined strategies of empowering individuals to empower the nation with focus on Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET), Entrepreneurship Education (EE) and Information Communication Technology (ICT). It is established that from history TVE was not given its prominent place and that may have accounted for the slow and lagging nature of advancement in TVE. Consequently, future progress will be determined by the level of empowerment given to individuals in schools which...

While TVET literature focuses on the potential role of the sector in socio-economic development, seldom is attention given to how socio-economic conditions and policies affect the development of the sector. This paper endeavours to contribute to filling this gap.

A main finding of the paper is that cluttered...
