5. Training programs:
Training programs need not necessarily be fixed. Institutions like CSTC have
been giving training on specific trades like tailoring, woodwork, etc. Depending
on the market need, training programs have to be flexible in duration, schedule
and education requirements.
The types of training trades are limited in number in contrast to the experiences of
other countries. Trades that are relevant to the Ethiopian situation need to be
studied and recommended.
Most adults living in rural areas are illiterate and lack vocational training. They
need relevant training that will make them self-employed and improve their
livelihood.
The unemployed youth also require trainings responsive to local market demand
for self-employment or become semi skilled workers be it in their location or
elsewhere.
4. Curriculum:
Training institutions need to develop their training manuals. In the absence of
such materials continuity of training could be at stake whenever there is staff
turnover. Training institution need to get technical support from the government
and NGOs. Running training manual development workshops could help.
5. Facilities
Training equipment in NFTVET centers are too old and inadequate. Relevant
training requires equipment that could serve market needs and training standards.
Training institutions need land for constructing workshops, classrooms and
organizing different types of services for trainees. This requires giving special
consideration for NFTVET training institutions to provide them free land.
Graduate trainees need to be organized in micro scale enterprises so that they can
get loan and support in the effort they make in self-employment.
