ABSTRACT Nation states need effective, accessible, and broadly engaged provisions of continuing education and training (CET) to develop the capacities of their working-age populations. Understanding what constitutes accessible and effective CET provisions, is needed to enable informed decision-making about realising governmental goals of securing a skilled, employable, and adaptive workforce. To understand what comprises that efficacy, it is necessary to capture, analyse, and reconcile the perspectives of stakeholders including government agencies, education institutions, CET educators and, most importantly, working-age adults. Reconciliation of these perspectives is essential for establishing what constitutes an effective CET ecosystem, including what kinds of CET provisions can best meet the needs of working-age Singaporeans and their workplaces. Drawing on an investigation of CET provisions in the island nation, this paper seeks to illuminate and advance how CET provisions might be enacted through an ecosystem perspective to promote employability.

ABSTRACT This study aims to evaluate the concept of entrepreneurial identity in the AgroBiz youth agripreneur program and the potential implications of agripreneurship in shaping the future of farming in Brunei. An exploratory study was applied to gain insight into agriculture students and course facilitators’ perceptions of agripreneurship training using focus group discussion to acquire comprehensive data. Thematic analysis was used to identify emerging agripreneurship and entrepreneurial identity themes. Research findings indicated that incorporating business-innovative practices into vocational agriculture training can instil young farmers with an entrepreneurial identity. The three critical issues addressed in the AgroBiz project: mindset, agribusiness, and agrotechnology, are considered essential components of manifesting the entrepreneurial identity. The research findings may not be comprehensive enough to evaluate the long-term contributions of AgroBiz at the industry level due to the small sample. Nevertheless, AgroBiz is a helpful instrument in nurturing change in the youth and the farming community.

ABSTRACT This study analysed the trends in enrolment and access to Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) at the second cycle level in Ghana to ascertain the factors affecting female enrolment in TVET in sub-Saharan Africa. A cross-sectional survey design was employed to collect data from 180 respondents using survey questionnaires. The results showed that there exists about a 51.6% gender gap in enrolment for the past five academic years. The major constraint to female enrolment and academic progression in TVET was the high cost of materials and equipment required for practical sessions in TVET programmes. In addition, the lack of female role models in TVET, including derogatory remarks by the public that portrays TVET as inferior, affects female enrolment in TVET programmes. There is, therefore, the need for public education and sensitisation on the prospects of female participation in TVET in Ghana and other developing counties, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa.

ABSTRACT Young people’s decision-making about postschool pathways are influenced and shaped by parents, teachers, and other familiars. Yet, these familiars are often uninformed about vocational education as it has not been part of their personal experience. Instead, they may reflect and further embed the relatively low standing of that option. The lack of access to informed advice potentially leads to privileging university entrance, and post-school pathways not aligned with young people’s capacities and interests. This raises questions about whether advice, from those familiar with this educational sector and occupations it serves (e.g. vocational educators), would offer different and more helpful advice than familiars. Reported here are perspectives of and advice provided by over 300 vocational educators about educational/training course that may suit young people’s needs, preferences, and ways of engaging and informing them about post-school pathways, and how to enhance vocational education’s standing as a potentially viable post-school pathway.
摘要:年轻人对毕业后道路的决策受到父母、老师和其他家庭成员的影响和塑造。然而,这些熟悉职业教育的人往往对职业教育一无所知,因为这不是他们个人经历的一部分。相反,它们可能会反映并进一步嵌入该选项相对较低的地位。缺乏知情咨询可能会导致大学入学特权,以及不符合年轻人能力和兴趣的放学后道路。这引发了一个问题,即熟悉这一教育部门及其服务的职业的人(如职业教育工作者)的建议是否会提供与熟悉者不同且更有帮助的建议。本文报道了300多名职业教育工作者对教育/培训课程的看法和建议,这些课程可能适合年轻人的需求、偏好,以及让他们参与和了解课后途径的方式,以及如何提高职业教育作为一种潜在可行的课后途径的地位。

ABSTRACT The nature of global labor markets places new demands on the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector in developing countries. Capacity building programs have become a strategy for governments to increase the standard of TVET. The aim of this article is to analyze conditions for the formation of an intended and enacted curriculum within the framework of an Ethiopian Private-Public Development Partnership (PPDP) in the TVET sector. Data was generated through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis. The results indicate that the curriculum was geared toward the needs and interests of those industries involved in the PPDP and that greater emphasis was put on developing the intended curriculum than considering situational and contextual (im)possibilities for its enactment. A future consideration when developing curriculum for such a program may be to involve a more diverse group of local actors.

ABSTRACT Many organisations invest heavily in training. However, it is argued that only a small portion of what is learnt from training is transferred to the workplace. Using an extended Training Transfer Model, the paper examines the factors that influence the transfer of training within an apprenticeship program. In-depth semi-structured interviews with participants who had undergone the apprenticeship programme were carried out. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, and bibliographic analysis was performed to highlight the topic’s significance and development for future research directions. The findings reveal that trainee characteristics, training design and work environment influence training transfer. Trainees with high cognitive ability, self-efficacy and motivation, who participated in a well-designed training programme and were supported by a conducive work environment, demonstrate positive transfer of training.
摘要许多组织在培训方面投入巨资。然而,有人认为,从培训中学到的东西只有一小部分转移到了工作场所。利用扩展的培训转移模型,研究了影响学徒计划中培训转移的因素。对参加学徒计划的学员进行了深入的半结构化访谈。使用主题分析对数据进行分析,并进行书目分析,以突出该主题对未来研究方向的意义和发展。研究结果表明,受训者的特点、培训设计和工作环境对培训转移有影响。具有高认知能力、自我效能和动机的受训者,参加了精心设计的培训计划,并得到了有利的工作环境的支持,表现出了积极的培训转移。

ABSTRACT This research was conducted among 50 participants from the tourism industry and 356 students pursuing vocational (tourism) education at the undergraduate level in government colleges of Himachal Pradesh (India). Industry professionals were sampled to identify a list of competencies that they expect in graduates, while, students were surveyed to understand whether educators are effective in delivering such competencies. The research aimed to explore the industry-academia gap in Vocational Tourism Education (VTE) at the undergraduate level. A seven-point Likert-type opinionnaire which included a list of competencies confirmed by industry professionals was used for data collection. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were utilized for data analysis. Results led to the identification of 35 competencies that industry expects of its potential employees. The study revealed the efficiency of educators in delivering most of the generic competencies. Whilst there exists a scope of improvement in most of the generic-vocational, vocational, and applied competencies.

ABSTRACT This study assesses the determinants of farmers’ participation in training at Farmers’ Training Centres (FTCs) in Northwest Ethiopia. It employed a mixed-methods research approach. The binary logistic regression and thematic methods of analysis were used to analyse the quantitative and qualitative data, respectively. The study reveals that years of schooling, land and mobile ownership, access to farmer-to-farmer extension services, membership in the Kebele cabinet, and a fair competency level of development agents were significant determinants. This study adds psychological and institutional variables to the existing literature as determinants of participation in training. It also integrates the quantitative and qualitative data to triangulate and validate the findings obtained. The study recommends that capacity building, information and communication technology (ICT), and land tenure system are the main areas of policy intervention for the government and other stakeholders to act on to promote farmers’ participation further in agricultural training programs in Ethiopia.
摘要本研究评估了埃塞俄比亚西北部农民培训中心(FTCs)农民参与培训的决定因素。它采用了混合方法研究方法。分别采用二元逻辑回归和专题分析方法对定量和定性数据进行分析。研究表明,受教育年限、土地和流动所有权、获得农民对农民的推广服务、加入凯贝莱内阁以及发展代理人的公平能力水平是重要的决定因素。这项研究在现有文献中增加了心理和制度变量,作为参与培训的决定因素。它还整合了定量和定性数据,对所获得的结果进行三角测量和验证。该研究建议,能力建设、信息和通信技术以及土地保有制度是政府和其他利益攸关方采取行动的主要政策干预领域,以促进农民进一步参与埃塞俄比亚的农业培训计划。

ABSTRACT Understanding what determines a worker’s passion for skills training has important policy implications, particularly in the current context of the fourth industrial revolution, in which knowledge is deemed obsolete within several years. The purpose of this study is to answer a specific question: are higher-ability garment workers more likely to engage in industrial skills training? To do so, we use a dataset with a final sample of 787 garment workers in Cambodia. We apply logit and cluster-standard-error Ordinary Least Square regression with the intention to participate in skills training as a dependent variable on worker ability levels, which we constructed using a series of questions adapted from the OECD’s Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies. Holding other things constant such as education, we found that workers with more ability are more likely to participate in skills training, while worker income is not a significant predictor.
摘要了解是什么决定了工人对技能培训的热情具有重要的政策意义,尤其是在当前第四次工业革命的背景下,知识在几年内被认为是过时的。这项研究的目的是回答一个特定的问题:能力更高的服装工人是否更有可能参加工业技能培训?为此,我们使用了一个数据集,其中包括柬埔寨787名服装工人的最终样本。我们应用logit和聚类标准误差普通最小二乘回归,意图将技能培训作为工人能力水平的因变量,我们使用改编自经合组织成人能力国际评估计划的一系列问题构建了技能培训。在保持教育等其他因素不变的情况下,我们发现能力更强的工人更有可能参加技能培训,而工人收入并不是一个重要的预测因素。

The purpose of this study is to answer a specific question: are higher-ability garment workers more likely to engage in industrial skills training? To do so, we use a dataset with a final sample of 787 garment workers in Cambodia. We apply logit and cluster-standard-error Ordinary Least Square regression with the intention to participate in skills training as a dependent variable on worker ability levels, which we constructed using a series of questions adapted from the OECD’s Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies. Holding other things constant such as education, we found that workers with more ability are more likely to participate in skills training, while worker income is not a significant predictor.","PeriodicalId":56351,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Training Research","volume":"21 1","pages":"71 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41922099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
