Technical and vocational graduates in Ghana are often ill-equipped to become self-reliant or well-fitted into the demands of the job market.

This calls for possible intervention strategies which could perhaps address this lingering problem. It is on this observation that this study examines the...

The Republic of South Sudan, recently emerging from the longest civil war in contemporary African history, has set goals towards post-conflict reconstruction in many areas of social services. However, the educational infrastructure continues to struggle, and many stakeholders in government and international and local organisations are not sufficiently aware of the needs, challenges and opportunities that face the implementation of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in the...
