▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2014.
This dissertation examines how adolescent pop culture fans seeking "imaginary solutions" for adulthood interact with the structural processes of vocational education and a globalized pop culture production industry job market. A qualitative study of students enrolled as animation and manga majors at two Japanese vocational schools in Tokyo, Japan based on qualitative fieldwork, interviews and surveys of students and staff, and internal school data explores the following issues. 1) How explicit vocational training and implicit socialization at vocational schools transform pop culture consumers into skilled workers in the pop culture industry. As youth are transformed during the school-to-work process, they also impact the practices of both schools and production employers. 2) How Japan's non-university post-secondary educational sector is shaped by market pressures to entice enrollment and informal hiring agreements with industry employers. Targeting young pop culture fans to enroll in two-year vocational programs produces an influx of socially awkward and introverted students who must be re-socialized to meet workplace communications and social interaction expectations. 3) How industry professionals hired as contract lecturers provide legitimacy for schools with students and employers, while as master craftsmen and role models they train students to meet employers' standards for skilled workers. 4) How the push to meet global market demands for Japanese pop culture products is transforming the Japanese domestic industry into a two-tiered global job model, with consequences for youth who train for the lower tier of skilled working class jobs in terms of social status, quality of life, and job mobility.

▼ This study set out to assess the link of automotive technology program and labor market demand
in Tigray region: the cases of four selected TVET institutions, and thereby forward possible
suggestions for the improvement of link of automotive technology and labor market demand in
these
training centers. To achieve the objective of the study the basic questions are taken as a
base. The skills of graduates comparing to labor market demand, TVET capacity in using labor
market information, relationship of TVET
training center with employers, satisfaction of
employers and graduates in the provision of practical
training, and understanding of employers
in the program of TVET
training are employed in the study. To assess the situations, four TVET
institutions were selected using random sampling method out of eight TVET institutions which
were providing automotive
training in the region. Descriptive survey method was employed, the
reason being that it could help to gather a large variety of data related to the
subject under
investigation. To gather the necessary data graduates of three consecutive years starting from
1999/2000-2002/03 E.C. were included. Moreover; trainers, management members and
supervisors from selected institutions and regional TVET Bureau are included in the study using
purposive sampling method. And graduates were traced by using snowball sampling. In addition
to this, employers and coordinators of micro & small enterprises are also interviewed using
convenience method. As data gathering instrument questionnaire, interviews and observation
were used .The results of the study showed that, graduates of automotive technology were not
equipped enough in practical
training, employers and graduates are not satisfied in the practical
training of the TVET institutions, there is a gap in between TVET institutions and employers
,and labor market information system was underutilized, etc. Hence, the study recommended
these selected TVET institutions of Tigray region should better improve the provision of
practical
training rather than theory, employ labor market information effectively, and work
cooperatively with the employers etc.

▼ The main purpose of the research was to undertake a systematic
investigation of the materials and supplies management practices and its
impact on the quality control, quality standard, and specification, resource
availability, inventory of materials, problems of purchasing, distribution,
utilization, handling of educational materials, maintenance, store
management, codification, buy or make, budget and the overall management
practices of the educational materials and supplies. The research
methodology employed was descriptive survey. The respondents for this
study were: deans and vice deans, department heads, section heads,
trainers, trainees, purchasers, main store keepers and tool technicians of
Entoto TVET College, General Winget TVET College and Tegbare-ed TVET
College in Addis Ababa. Questionnaires and interview were used to collect
the necessary information and results obtained were analyzed using
percentage. The three colleges were selected by simple random sampling
techniques. The statistical analysis of this study is percentage. Among the
findings, the clarity and simplicity of effective planning of educational
materials is poor. Also planning, selection and handling of educational
materials is very poor. The finding reveals that the educational materials are
insufficient. Some educational materials are frequently damaged because of
lack of proper handling and lack of utilizing skills of trainees. Educational
materials are not purchased on time. Distribution of educational materials
is not fair. The maintenance of educational materials is not performed well.
Recommendations for effective educational materials and supplies include
that to motivate and encourage trainers in planning, selection and handling
of EM’s. Awareness should be given to all concerned bodies how to handle
and prevent EM’s and supplies form damage to train personnel’s in
maintenance of materials

▼ The major aim in understanding this research was to assess the practice of human
resource management In Amhara National Regional State the case of Wag Himra Zone
and there by forward possible suggestions for the improvement of TVET programs and in
order to perform the
training, acquisition, retention, recruitment ,and development
activities in available TVET institutions. The area of concern believed to be relevant to
examine the performance of TVET and employment prospects were principals,
department heads, process coordinators, trainers, supportive staff and board members.
To this end, a descriptive survey research method was employed for the study. The
sample TVET institutions were selected from Wag Himra Zone namely Sekota, Amdewerk
and Zequala TVET institutions. The subjects of the study include 3 principals, 13
department heads, 21 process coordinators, 51 trainers, 71 supportive staff and 21
board members. Stratified, simple random and purposive sampling techniques were
employed to select the TVET institutions and respondents. Questionnaire and interview
were instruments used for the purpose of collecting data. The result of the study
depicted that The findings show the numbers of Principals, Process Coordinators,
Department Heads, Supportive Members, Academic staff Members and Board Members
are very low: the institutional efforts in working with the delegates of the society and the
local authorities offered to be capacity building trainings on the practice of Human
Resource Management found low, low effort and motivation of employees in using the
available supports, no clear mechanism available to follow problems faced by the
practices of Human Resource Management and insignificant trainings were found as the
major challenges in promoting organizational development and effective human
resource utilization. Hence, it is concluded that the exhibits status of TVET institutions in
the zone different challenges and employment prospects are not promising. In line with
the above findings and conclusions, therefore, it was recommended that TVET
institutions should, as such as possible: try to meet the standards set by MoE as stated in
the TVET strategies with regard to their staff and good if TVET institutions seek
permanent solution to the problem of funding
training programs.

Towards a New Theory of VET Policy Evaluation and Engagement:

▼ Much current policy analysis assumes that in order to build theory on
vocational education and
training (VET) policy evaluation, it is useful to explore evaluation from the perspectives of its stakeholders. However in practice this does not always happen. This thesis addresses the limitations that arise in policy analysis on VET when stakeholders’ perspectives are ignored or assumed. Industry
Training in New Zealand is used as an example of a VET policy that has experienced increasing participation by stakeholders, but limited evaluation that largely ignores stakeholders’ views.
Taking an inclusive, qualitative approach, this research seeks to unearth how different stakeholders in the state and tourism sectors evaluate the impact of Industry
Training and how value is created for each from Industry
Training engagement. Fifty semi-structured interviews were completed with a cross-section of stakeholders representing policy makers, various industry interest groups, as well as employers/managers and trainees from four state and tourism sector organisations. Secondary data, where available, were also analysed, in order to improve the level of data triangulation.
An analytical framework was developed from the VET, human capital, human resource development, critical human resource development and policy evaluation literatures. This framework consists of two broad paradigms of evaluation:
(1) The Strategic HRD/VET policy logic of skills investment equals increased socio-economic prosperity. This views the outcomes of VET policy as largely value-free, quantifiable facts that are mutually beneficial to all stakeholders, and which exist separately from these stakeholders; and,
(2) The Critical HRD/Stakeholder logic that views the outcomes of VET policy as value-laden, not necessarily mutually beneficial to all stakeholders, nor existing separately from its stakeholders. Responses from interviewees were compared against these paradigms and among different stakeholder groups to answer the main research question: How do stakeholders evaluate the impact of a VET policy?
The main research outcome is the development of a new framework and theory of VET policy evaluation, based on a comparative understanding of value creation from multiple stakeholders’ perspectives.

▼ Abstract
This research, mainly thurough questionnaire investigation, too meetings with experts, scholars, and enterprises and deep interviews, underrealizesstands the plan needs and expecttion of the middle-aged unemployed for
vocational trainingã In order to find out the ways for reformation in correspondence to the requirement of the unemployed, reaching the purpose of ãpublic
vocational training improving the middle-aged unemployed to reemploymentãã Four thousand copies of questionnaire were sent to the middle-aged unemployed who were registered in employment service organizations at different areas. Eight hundred and ninety-five copies are returned. Valid questionnaires are eight hundred and fifteen. The major results through analyst are as followsï¼
1ãThe purpose and future expectation of the middle-aged unemployed to register in service organizations at different area..
ï¼1ï¼Registration purpose is to hope reemployment in one way, and also think that it is their rights to have unemployment payment. It shows that the middle-aged unemployed still want a job from the unemployed scheme. But by observing the result of personal attribute cross analyst, personal attribute makes no big difference if reemployment is necessary. People with age from 60-64 wonât work. Business running level on job category and class-c level holdersâ on license category require more of their own business.
ï¼2ï¼The reason of reemployment needed for the middle-aged unemployed is main factor of economy. The problem of reemployment is insufficient skills. The same problem happened to the business running. Most of future businesses of reemployment are service business The expectation payment is from 20,000 NT dollars to 30,000 NT dollars.
2ãDo the middle-aged unemployed want to accept
vocational training if their skills are insufficient? There are 40% of people thinking they need a job
training. The most reasons for those who donât need job
training are the factors of health.
Again we observe from personal reason, the age form 60-64, master degree level and above, technician of before job, farming fishery and pastureage and license A holders donât need
vocational training. Service business on before job, license C holders or people without license need more
vocational training.
3ãMost of the middle-aged employed donât want to accept self-paid
vocational training. The preferred
training period is one month to three month and the proper class time is daytime form Monday to Friday.ã
The main expectation of attending
vocational training is to acquire.ï¼employment guaranteeãMost people donât know much about public
vocational training organization, but also 40% of people never hear of public
vocational training organization. People knowing nothing about public
vocational training organization occupies 70% high. What kind of organization will be chosen if people want to join
vocational training? The answer is non-public
vocational chosen organization for most people.
4ãThe comparison for different main factors of important level among the middle-aged…

▼ Abstract provided by author:; Subsequently the interest patterns based on the
vocational interests of 2045 Namibian grade 10 learners were investigated. For this part of the study comparisons were made and differences highlighted on grounds of gender, geographical setting, and academic performance. Clear differences in interest were found on most of the scales between males and females, between those from urban and rural areas, between learners from different geographical regions, and also between learners with different academic abilities. Specific attention was given to a discussion of those learners within the regular classroom who do not qualify to continue with education in the formal system after grade 10; A thorough investigation of John Holland's Theory of
Vocational Personalities and Work Environments and research related to this theory was also undertaken. From the numerous research results available it became clear that some aspects of the theory could be verified to a greater extent than could others. As part of this investigation the relevance of the Holland theory for the Namibian situation was investigated. This discussion concentrated on the fit of the data mainly as related to the Holland personality types, the hexagon model, and the dimensions underlying the hexagon. This investigation revealed for example that the Namibian data did not fit the Holland Hexagon, in particular the circump/ex hypothesis, well. However some of the dimensions underlying the Hexagon including the idea that types may be grouped in clusters rather than as points around a circle were more compatible with the Namibian data; In addition to this, specific problems related to
subject and career selection were investigated through a number of case studies using mainly qualitative methods of research. Some general based on these case studies were discussed in relation to Holland's theory

Adadale and Lucy. Four hundred (male=150 and female=250) trainees
were randomly selected from level three and level four trainees. The
result suggested a more favorable attitude of students towards TVET
program and its value. Significant gender and educational level,
differences in attitude towards TVET and in perception on the value of
TVET program were found while that of field of study yields non
significant attitude differences. On the other hand, students did not want
to study TVET while they were in grade 10. Nevertheless, they exhibited
more interest to TVET after they participated in the program. The three
most important reasons for students to join TVET were scoring in the
10th grade national exam, personal interest and expectation for further
training. The finding of the study suggests working actively to promote
the interest of student towards TVET and to enhance further research on
students’ attitude and perception towards TVET.

▼ This research paper assesses the extent of female participation in Entoto Technical and
Vocational Education and
Training Poly Technic College TVET College by examining and identifying the socio and cultural factors that affect their involvement in the selectedTVET College. The main objective of this study is to improve thepartaking of female in male –dominated TVET courses and to enhance the role of women in national development.The researcher used mixed research (qualitative and quantitative) approach to achieve the research purpose. The participants in the study were 100 students/trainees, 30 trainers, the Dean of the college and Counseling and Guidance officer. A questionnaire and interview for collecting the data was employed from the selected respondents. The outcome of this study generally revealed that female participation in most of the departments in this college is low. This was caused due to several factors such as: college related factors, trainers related factors, parents related factors and socio-cultural related factors. The participation of females in TVET can be developed by focusing on tutorial program by improving the system for enrollment of females according to their individual interest and by creating role model female trainers as well.Based on the major findings, the following recommendations are made:The Federal TVET Agency which is responsible for professional development of rules and procedures for occupational assessment had better to look into the quality of Entoto Technical and
Vocational Education and
Training Poly Technic CollegeTVET College trainers. It should also improve their competence either through short- term
training or summer in- service
training in collaboration with the institution.TVET institutions should expand the field of studies based on the needs of students and the labor market demand.

▼ Governments in many countries worldwide have increasingly focused on accreditation as an important strategy to improve the quality of
vocational education and
training (VET). In Vietnam, accreditation in
vocational training is still in its initial stage of development. The first cycle of accreditation at institutional level was conducted in 2008, and accreditation at programme level was piloted for the first time in 2012. The purpose of this mixed method study was to investigate the actual effects of institutional and programme accreditation from the perspectives of staff members in two Vietnamese
vocational training colleges. Sixty staff members in these two institutions participated in the study. A questionnaire combining closed-ended and open-ended questions was administered to all participants. To obtain more in-depth responses about the impact of accreditation, individual interviews were conducted with eight participants. The findings suggest that the staff members overall had a positive perception towards the impact of accreditation regardless of the type of accreditation. The three main perceived benefits of accreditation included the increased awareness amongst staff of QA, its role as a catalyst for institutions’ change and enhancement, and the improvements in managerial practices. However, the study found support for the view that accreditation seemed to have been geared towards accountability rather than improvement. Many staff members observed that accreditation did not lead to a significant increase in teaching and learning quality or the institutions’ reputation. The effects of accreditation were also seen to be temporary rather than long-lasting. In conclusion, the study argues that though accreditation in
vocational training in Vietnam has gained some preliminary success, there is still a mismatch between policy and reality. A number of important implications at both national and institutional levels for more effective accreditation are identified.

▼ The concept of policing a state has had to undergo a change of mindset due to the global nature of today’s world. There was anecdotal evidence that the training was outdated and did not take into account the cross-cultural differences that exist in Qatar. This study investigates this hypothesis and evaluates the quality of training at the Police Training Institute in Qatar After conducting an exhaustive literature review covering cross cultural differences, systems thinking and different delivery methods a methodological evaluation of public sector training was conducted using the Soft Systems Methodology of Professor Peter Checkland. The key findings to come out of the SSM Analysis were: the police training did not meet the participants’ expectations, course content failed to provide trainees with new skills, the delivery of the courses lacks interaction and courses were not useful or challenging. A conceptual model was developed that dealt with: • new content • cultural differences and; • new delivery methods A new course was designed, delivered, tested and evaluated. This was a course on Systems Thinking. Also, an App was designed for mobile phones which enabled the course to be delivered in a more modern manner which used the concept of social media. The final analysis showed that the Systems Thinking ideas were well received and more courses need to be designed at all levels. It suggested that there is a future for mobile technology in training and it encouraged organizations to experiment with this form of delivery. Recommendations were made for future training at the Police Training Institute and these were well received by the Ministry of Interior of Qatar. It also suggests that the PTI is an ideal candidate for a learning organization, which would help it to understand what is happening in the outside environment and produce creative solutions using the knowledge and skills of all within the organization.

▼ This thesis explores the pedagogical practices used by lecturers in
vocational training programmes for automotive mechanic students in Swaziland. It seeks to determine the process which
training institutions use to specialize students into automotive mechanics, the levels of practical abilities students acquire during
training and how this can be analysed using existing theories for
vocational training.
The research involves case studies of three
vocational institutions offering automotive mechanics as a specialization in Swaziland, with a focus on the first year of
training. Evidence is obtained from semi-structured interviews with lecturers, observations of classroom and workshop activities and course documents, as well as other relevant documents, such as those from the directorate dealing with trade testing. The research is qualitative and follows the descriptive and interpretive research paradigm, using a combination of deductive and inductive reasoning to relate themes that arise from the data to existing theory and to allow new themes that emerge to be explored in their own terms.
The research uses the framework for
vocational pedagogy developed by Lucas, Spencer and Claxton (2012) as well as other tools found in the literature which facilitate analysis of the theoretical aspects of
vocational pedagogy. Using a thematic analysis approach, the research found that lecturers typically relied on exploratory and demonstrative approaches in their lessons. Applying Lucas et al.’s (2012) conceptual framework of six desired
vocational outcomes to the pedagogical practices observed in these lessons, the study found that the lecturers’ exploratory and demonstrative approaches focussed primarily on achieving the
vocational outcome of routine expertise, while half of the lessons also addressed the
vocational outcomes of resourcefulness and craftsmanship.
Aspects of the
vocational outcome of business-like attitudes were documented to a smaller extent, while the outcomes of wider skills for growth and functional literacies were not observed.
The teaching methods that lecturers used most often while teaching first year automotive mechanics students, and which were embedded in their exploratory and demonstrative approaches, were learning by practicing (trial and error), learning by watching, and learning by imitation. These methods are identified in Lucas et al.’s (2012) framework as supporting education within the broader category of physical materials in which automotive mechanics falls. The core method used in the exploratory approach was learning by practicing (trial and error), while when using the demonstrative approach, the lecturers employed the methods learning by watching, learning by imitation, and learning by practicing (trial and error), which all constitute forms of demonstration.
The fact that the pedagogical practices used by the lecturers in this study were focused heavily on achieving only
vocational outcome – routine capacity –suggests that the lecturers’ existing repertoire of pedagogic practices is…

▼ This research investigates how the nature and scope of vocational education and training (VET) in Victoria has changed as a result of legislation passed in 1990 to enable privately owned Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) to provide government accredited training. An interpretive paradigm and multiple data gathering techniques have been applied. These included the examination of primary historical and economic documents which demonstrated why the VET system changed in Australia and quantifiable statistics which illustrated how the system changed over the period covered; from 1990/1 to 2002/3. Semi-structured interviews with a purposeful sample of 21 RTOs assisted in exploring the impact of the entry of privately owned RTOs into the Victorian training market. The wide experience and in-depth knowledge of the VET sector by the researcher acted as an underpinning device. The evidence from my interviews illustrated how the privately owned RTOs in my sample provided relevant, customised and contextualised training, differentiated their services to ensure they met client needs, responded rapidly to changes in demand and exhibited considerable adaptability in their arrangements for training delivery. This adaptability extended, amongst other things, to the location, timing and mode of delivery. It became apparent that the increased diversity found, had unintended consequences. These included an increase in the perceived complexity of the VET sector for those working within it and adversely affecting the extent to which national consistency has been achieved.

▼ The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of alternatively licensed and traditionally licensed technology education teachers in North Carolina. Current research shows mixed data on the effectiveness of alternatively licensed teachers when compared to traditionally licensed teachers. Some researchers believe alternatively licensed teachers lack the pedagogical knowledge and classroom management techniques they would receive through a traditional university educational program. Other researchers believe alternatively licensed teachers have more content specific and practical application knowledge because of relevant work experience in the field. There is a need for additional research in this area so students are provided the best possible educational opportunities in technology education. This study used a mixed-methodology approach to show if there are any statistical differences between alternatively licensed and traditionally licensed technology education teachers in North Carolina. Quantitative analyses were used to compare the percent of students proficient on the end of course standardized exam in five different courses taught by technology education teachers in North Carolina. Quantitative analyses were also used to compare the time on task of students as a measure of pedagogical management and qualitative analyses were used to compare demographic data of a sample of technology education teachers as well as to compare principals’ perceptions of the preparation, performance, and professional development needs of these teachers.

▼ Career and technology education (CATE) courses were offered to high school students as an alternative form of education. The research problem at the study site, which is a high school located in southeastern United States was the lack of research-based findings on high school graduates' perceptions of CATE courses. The purpose of this study was to understand the participants' perceptions of the impact of CATE courses on career goals. The research question that guided this study was: What are the perceptions of high school graduates of a CATE program? The conceptual framework was based upon multiple intelligences, differentiated instruction, and the social cognitive theory of self-efficacy. Purposive sampling was used to identify 10 high school graduates who took CATE courses and were interviewed to share their perceptions of those courses. Responses were audio taped and transcribed for content analysis and coding to identify common themes on this topic. The findings indicated that CATE courses provided students with practical applications by which CATE instructors strived to meet the needs of students, indicating that CATE students have been prepared for career opportunities. The findings also indicated that CATE students graduated from high school because students developed technical and academic skills through the program. Implications for positive social change include potentially increased rate of high school graduation of CATE students and the impact of CATE courses on graduate's career goals. The results of this study can be used by CATE teachers and school administrators to support continued advocacy for teacher professional development within the field of CATE courses.

This was achieved by interviewing the leadership, instructors, and participating teachers; observing the in-person workshops; administering a survey to the teachers; and analyzing the project's documentation. Five professional development programs were examined, including: <i> Engineering the Future, Project Lead the Way, Mathematics Across the Middle School MST Curriculum, The Infinity Project</i>, and <i>INSPIRES </i>. The findings from the individual case studies were compared and summarized across the four research questions.

▼ The transition from student to worker is one of great significance. Decisions made about occupation can determine future career trajectories and, by extension, access to or denial of societal privilege, occupational status attainment and social identity. Partly in response to this, it is becoming increasingly common for individuals to have exposure to workplaces by undertaking a period of vocational education and training (VET) whilst in the latter stages of secondary school. This research uses such a transitional period to examine occupational decision making of students undertaking a hospitality vocational course in Tasmania, Australia. Globally, the hospitality sector experiences pressing problem of skills and labour shortages and therefore there is a need to investigate the reasons why individuals choose to enter and remain in hospitality occupations.
This thesis links two well-established career decision-making theories to identify a more appropriate means to examine the elongated period of occupational decision making through vocational education and training. This non-traditional approach to occupational decision making is not well reflected in the career literature or by existing models of career decision making. Using a mixed method approach, this longitudinal study examines the occupational decision-making processes of students from different backgrounds. Their stories reveal a holistic picture of the impacts of family influence, socioeconomic background and interests on an initial decision to enter training as preparation for an occupation in hospitality. The longitudinal method allows further investigation of the assessment of that initial occupational decision for suitability during the VET course and into early career.
This research has found that socioeconomic background, parental occupation and interest will narrow the range of occupational choices perceived to be available to individuals as described in Gottfredson‟s (1981) Theory of Circumscription and Compromise. However, it was found that assumptions of individual agency and rational decision making were curtailed by the perception of limited occupational options underpinned by fundamental social structures such as social class and occupational status. Early career decision making was found to depend largely on the relative strength of goals, expectation of outcomes and sense of self-efficacy as described in Lent, Brown and Hackett‟s (1994) Social Cognitive Career Theory. Decisions were not formally rational given the limits of their research into occupations and the limitations to thinking created by social structures. This research also identifies the role of workplace relationships as an explicit and powerful moderator of turnover intention in early hospitality career.

▼ This dissertation examines vocational education and
training (VET) partnership programs designed to increase aboriginal
participation in the skilled trades. Pre-apprenticeship training
programs were examined in two regions: the Beaufort Delta of the
Northwest Territories (NWT) and the Regional Municipality of Wood
Buffalo located in north eastern Alberta. Program sponsorship
varied: the territorial program was federally-funded, while the
provincial program was primarily funded by a mine. Drawing from a
multiple case site methodology, both programs were examined over
the course of a year when participants were in class (fall, 2010)
and afterwards (spring 2011) when programs had ended. During both
phases of the research interviews with program participants (n =
20) and program partners (n = 24) were conducted. The theoretical
framework developed in this inquiry nests social theories of Pierre
Bourdieu within late capitalism. Bourdieu’s concept of the field,
capital, and habitus respectively elucidate the social relations,
asset structures, and dispositions of program partners and
participants. Findings indicate that training partnerships are
brokered on contested fields involving asymmetrical power relations
occurring between different partners. VET programs that are
demand-driven and have a committed employment partner are more
likely to lead to successful learning-to-work transitions than
programs where goals and commitments are less clearly defined.
Socialisation of program participants is impacted by the economic
relationship characterising each region. While there have been
ample studies conducted in northern Canada concerning the
socioeconomic impacts of resource extractive economic developments,
there remains a dearth of research examining education, training,
and employment initiatives that specifically target aboriginal
people. This research will be of particular use to policy makers
who are interested in improving training policy and practice. The
research also provides insight into the shifting nature of
aboriginal-industry-state relations occurring within a postFordist
regime of capital accumulation. Recommendations include improving
governance structures to over-see partnership programs, as well as
ensuring stable and predictable funding regimes are in
place.

▼ The plight faced by unemployed rural communities in South Africa and particularly the women folks of Winterveldt does not differ much from other rural areas globally in terms of poverty and the need for development. In the light of this problem, the study attempted to answer the main research question guiding it, namely, what is the role of
Vocational Education and
Training programmes for unemployed women in Winterveldt? Few, if any, studies in South Africa have investigated how unemployed women with little formal education engage in
Vocational Education and
Training programmes for purposes of employment creation, environmental awareness and cultural preservation. This thesis presents three streams of
Vocational Education and
Training programmes that were introduced in Winterveldt, Pretoria, namely, the embroidery, vegetable gardens and beadwork.
Using a multi-focal theoretical framework consisting of empowerment, human capital, feminism, and critical pedagogy theories, the study investigates whether the programmes reduced women’s vulnerability to poverty in post-apartheid South Africa. To carry out the investigation, the study employed a multiple case study research design based on an interpretive paradigm. In addition, the researcher using individual and focus group interviews, observations and document analysis was able to acquire qualitative data. The data were collected from 17 unemployed women, seven from embroidery stream, five from vegetable garden section and five from beadwork division as well as three coordinators. All the interviewees were selected purposively because they were deemed information rich with regard to the programmes of their studies.
Data were analysed manually through hand coding that led to the emergence of the research findings. The research findings were categorised into various ideas that were eventually used to form the themes to this study.
The research findings revealed the followings:
That all human beings have the capacity to realise their potential in their own way;
That women with little or no formal learning, usually go unnoticed in any systematic way;
That despite being unnoticed, women have achieved success by using their own hands and available resources to create artefacts or produce crops to turn their impoverished situation around; and
That
Vocational Education and
Training programmes serve as a primary livelihood strategy for unemployed women who had no alternative means of employment.
In conclusion, the research findings are a reminder of the true African spirit that says; Rutang bana ditaola, le se ye natšo badimong, broadly translated as teach insights into the secrets of life to the young ones; you are not to take them with you when you depart to the land of ancestors. Finally, this study proposes a partnership framework as a formation that could enhance the performance of the women participants in the area of Winterveldt. The idea is that by sharing their knowledge and expertise the unemployed women who participate in the various community-based…

▼ This study investigated lived personal and professional educational reform experiences of Technical
Vocational Education and
Training (TVET) College lecturers at the policy-practice interface in the post-apartheid era. A literature search revealed that TVET lecturers’ voices in the South African context were a terra incognita, as they have been missing and neglected for decades. The study is a contribution towards filling that void.
The study used a qualitative research approach from an interpretive paradigm. Open-ended life history interviews of 12 TVET college lecturers from two different colleges were conducted. The participants have worked in the sector for more than 10 years. Questionnaires were used to elicit lecturer biographical data. The main analysis technique used was narrative analysis. The study draws on a social theory by Norbert Elias, who emphasizes interconnectedness of relations amongst people, rejecting the homo clausus image of man.
Findings suggest that educational change was complex and daunting for TVET lecturers. The experiences of TVET lecturers suggest that they were not adequately engaged during the conceptualization stages of the reform. Implementation had to start before they had familiarized themselves with the innovations, hence the lament that they were not ready. The reform was perceived as rapid and ephemeral. Rapidity led to the development of unrealistic timeframes, ambitious scope and inequitable practices in the distribution of resources. Educational reforms fell short of continuity and conformity to system norms and yielded a myriad of unintended and unanticipated consequences.
Because of the prevalence of feelings of inadequacy precipitated by curricular changes, this study recommends that TVET lecturers be adequately capacitated. TVET lecturer development strategies need to fortify different kinds of knowledge such as disciplinary, tacit, pedagogical, work-place and knowledge of the heart, such as values, attitudes, intuition and situated learning. The study recommends that strategies to alleviate onerous administrative duties for lecturers be devised. The study recommends that solutions to NCV challenges, such as mixed ability classrooms, compounded student workloads, complex courses that are pitched higher than the level of the targeted student and lack of technical background, be found. The study highlighted adverse effects of prescriptive, top-down reforms which have been cited as silencing professional input. This study concludes that challenges could have been minimized if the lecturer was considered to be one of the key factors for educational reform to succeed. The study recommends that policymakers and college management utilize prudent participative and consultative strategies that include lecturers for enhancement of future policy conceptualization, implementation and evaluation.

▼ Providing employment for persons with disabilities is very important because it provides opportunities for self-sufficiency and
improvement in their living condition. The aim of vocational training for persons with disabilities is to enable them to acquire skills that are
relevant to the current labour market demands. This study investigated the relevance of vocational training programmes at three
vocational training centers in the Ashanti Region of Ghana to persons with disabilities. A mixed methods design was used to assess the
relevance of vocational training programme at the three vocational training centers. A total of 118 participants participated in the study.
They consisted of 108 past trainees who took part in the survey, and three directors and seven institutors who participated in in-depth
interviews. The findings indicated that the vocational training programmes were not all that relevant to the employment needs of many of
the graduates although some of the graduates had benefited immensely from the training. The findings are an indication of the need to
restructure vocational training programmes in Ghana to make them more relevant to the employment needs of all trainees.

Implementation and participation in vocational education and training in Catholic schools.

▼ Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS) is recognised in all Australian states’ and territories’ education systems in the senior secondary certificates of education. The federal government has researched the benefits of VETiS and promoted it as a subject area of worth through both policy and funding. System leadership in schools have also included VETiS in their strategic direction by establishing and resourcing Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) to manage the compliance issues associated with the national Vocational Education and Training (VET) system. VETiS is offered in the majority of schools in New South Wales (NSW), including Catholic Schools; however, there are varying levels of implementation within schools along with wide differences in student participation across schools.
With government and school leadership placing emphasis on the importance of VETiS as part of the curriculum, it is important to find out why some schools offer less VETiS than others, and why some schools have greater student take-up of VETiS than is found at other schools. Is this a result of limitations imposed by systems and situations which are difficult for schools to change, or is it caused by misunderstanding, misconceptions, or even ignorance, which—if left unchallenged— could have a detrimental impact on students’ academic choices, achievements, and ultimately, their career options?
The reasons behind the variation between schools in implementation and participation in VETiS were the focus of this research. The research, situated in rural New South Wales, reports the experiences of four systemic Catholic schools and their students when making decisions in relation to Higher School Certificate (HSC) subjects. The perspectives of the students, parents, teachers and leadership were sought in order to unpack potential reasons for variation among schools and to identify any contributing issues that may impact on VETiS as a subject area of choice.
The research utilised case study methodology, employing the epistemological approach of constructionism which is premised on the understanding that meaning is constructed rather than discovered. Constructionism focuses on the assumption that knowledge and meaning as constructed by the participants forms the basis for making judgements and decisions. The issues of subject implementation and subject choice provided the framework for the suite of data collection instruments, using a mix of qualitative and quantitative approaches in a multisite case study.
The research identified a number of major characteristics and factors that were found to affect the rate of participation and implementation of VETiS in specific schools. It was found that the combination of specific factors—including the characteristics of students, subject advice, school staff, subject decision processes, school leadership, school vision, school reputation and school culture—impacted on the number of courses implemented in schools and the participation rates of students. …

▼ This study investigates the rates of return from job training in China and examines the heterogeneity of these returns. Through focusing on the context of transitional China, this study adds new evidence to the literature on the acquisition of and returns from job training. The results are based on the analysis of an urban sample from the Chinese General Social Survey (2006), and these results lead to two main conclusions. First, there are positive returns from job training in transitional China, and the gender difference in the returns from such training is not significant. However, the regressions within separate male and female samples show that job training endows female workers with a bigger earnings advantage (of 51.3%) compared to females without job training, whereas male workers who receive job training gain a smaller earnings advantage (of 43.6%) compared to other male workers. The consistency of results from both the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and propensity score matching (PSM) confirms the causal effect of job training. Second, by analyzing the heterogeneity of job training returns, this study reveals that a negative selection hypothesis applies to female workers but not to male workers. That is, the higher the possibility that female workers can receive job training, the lower the earnings advantage they gain from such training. Although this study is limited to data from the General Social Survey, it provides a narrative explanation for the observed patterns. The findings suggest that given the different requirements of job training across industry types, the heterogeneity of returns from training can be partly attributed to occupational segregation by gender. Moreover, the results from the model for predicting the likelihood of receiving job training provide new evidence for the social product theory of human capital. These results confirm that the reception of job training is largely determined by the social characteristics of individuals.

▼ The vocational education and training (VET) sector in Malaysia has experienced significant change over the last 10 years. This thesis aimed to identify the challenges facing VET development in Malaysia and consider the lessons that can be learnt from Australian and Singaporean VET experiences. This research explored the challenges using a mixed methods approach (qualitative and quantitative) to answer the research question from a multiple stakeholder perspective. The 42 respondents included policymakers, chief executive officers (CEOs) from industry, CEOs from registered training organisations (RTOs), VET instructors and trainees. There were 34 respondents from Malaysia involved in the interviews. Two policymakers and two CEOs of RTOs from Singapore and Australia were also involved in the interviews. An online survey was answered by 209 Malaysian respondents. Significantly, the literature review, including literature from Malaysia, Australia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States, focused on the development of VET policy and the ideas associated with vocational education theory, human capital theory, systems theory and threshold theory, program theory, employability theory, collective skills formation, stakeholder engagement and the capability approach. The literature review provided an overview of the motivations behind government initiates to expand skills development initiatives using different models, the shifting of responsibility for employability to the employee and promoting inclusivity within the nation. While VET objectives were overt, the need for socially inclusive results were not. There is a need to consider economic, social and education contexts when developing VET systems, given the diversity of Malaysian society. The argument is made within the thesis that the development of VET policy has been largely led by government and legislation, rather than industry. The thesis suggests that challenges inherent in the development of a VET system arise from the gaps between VET policy and practice, rhetoric and implementation. While the presence of policy mechanisms for system efficiency was acknowledged by stakeholders, VET policy was characterised by respondents as incremental rather than long term. Most stakeholders acknowledged the importance of lifelong learning and for the need for Malaysia to become a learning nation. The lack of a single agency to monitor skills development was considered an obstacle for effective skills development within the country. Accordingly, this thesis proposes a set of recommendations to address these challenges and provides directions for future research.

▼ The purpose of this project was to develop a power point presentation designed to provide 21th century pre employment job search instructions to veterans with disabilities at the Sacramento Veterans Resource Center (SVRC). Pre employment job search
training is provided to veterans with disabilities at SVRC in the Winning the Employment Game Workshop (WEG). The Winning the Employment Game (WEG) Manual has been the primary resource for the pre employment job skills
training material used at SVRC. The WEG Manual was written in 1992 and was last edited in 2006. The pre employment job search instructions included in this project is designed to supplement the WEG Manual by providing internet friendly
vocational rehabilitation instruction specifically relevant to veterans with disabilities in the Sacramento, California Metropolitan area.
iv
Source of Data
Data for this Project was obtained through professional journals, library resources,
EBSCOhost, ERIC Data bases and a variety of other internet resources. The data includes: peer reviewed journal articles, textbooks, information from relevan websites, manuals, workbooks, and power point presentations that provided information on agencies that provide
vocational rehabilitation services to veterans with disabilities and instruction on pre employment job search skills activities.
Conclusion Reached
A power point presentation providing pre employment job search instructions to veterans with disabilities was developed. The power point presentation includes lessons on perspectives of Happenstance Career Counseling, life skills important to career development, introduction on the use of the internet in career development,
vocational assessment,
vocational exploration, traditional and 21st century job search methods, labor market information, transferable skills analysis and interview techniques. In addition, the presentation includes instruction on writing effective resumes, cover letters, applications and thank you notes. The presentation also includes an assorted array of information specifically relevant to job seekers who are veterans with disabilities.

▼ The research study examines the implementation of National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) within small and medium enterprises. NVQs have been in existence for ten years yet they continue to receive criticism from academic circles and implementation by employers has been slow. The small residential care sector was selected because it has many characteristics in common with small businesses in general: the sector has grown because of recent care legislation; it is dependent on larger local authorities for client referrals; it employs mainly women on a part-time basis; and it lacks a traditional training pathway for unqualified staff. Using a qualitative, case study approach, seven workplaces were visited over the period of a year. Candidates, assessors and managers were interviewed regularly to assess their feelings and progress and to determine the factors which affected their experiences of NVQ implementation. Four main areas were explored using a theme analysis framework - progress, progression, standardisation and financial issues. The findings indicated that implementation in small workplaces was problematic for all involved. Unless a training culture was already in existence, insufficient resources were provided to support and facilitate progress both physically and emotionally. Consequently, assessors and candidates involved with NVQs were quite negative about their experiences which reduced the value placed on the qualification by the participants and their managers. Despite being a 'national' qualification, the growing deregulation in both care and training has resulted in market place competition which has had consequences for the standardisation and costs of training programmes. The voluntaristic nature of employer investment in training, and the lack of care legislation to make training an obligatory aspect of home registration, has resulted in a low uptake of NVQs in small businesses because of the costs involved in assessment time.

▼ The study aims to investigate the correlation for new veterans among their personalities, family factors, relevant coping strategies for employments provided by Veteran Affairs Commission in Tainan and re-employment. The research findings will be offered to administrators in Veteran Affairs Commission, as well as future researchers in the field, which would promote the possibility of employment for new veterans. Moreover, individual personalities such as gender, age, marriage, education, military seniority, type of demobilization pension, demobilization rank, situations of family and work, duration of unemployment and so on will be taken into consideration for probing the effect on re-employment. These findings will be reference for government to provide adaptive service for individual difference based on called âWalking around service.â Finally, the research findings would suggest the administration, i.e. Ministry of National Defense, Council of Veteran Affairs, and Council of Labor Affairs, to cultivate second major
training for those active military officials. These plans for their careers after demobilization will help them get used to the society, contribute more effort to the country in the next stage of life.
The research subjects include new veterans in Tainan who demobilized in three years. The data was collected by distributing 486 questionnaire and 128 returned, effective returned rate reached 26.83%. The questionnaire was designed based on related references and inventories. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS 12.0 by using Reliability Analysis, Factor Analysis, Descriptive Statistics, t-test, One-Way ANOVA, Regression Analysis as well as Hieraechical Regression Analysis.
The research findings concluded as follows:
1. The personality of new veteran has significant effect on his/her re-employment.
2. The personality of new veteran has significant positive effect on his/her work value.
3. The family factor new veteran has interaction between his/her personality and work value.
