Abstract
The aim of the paper to understandings to bridge the gap between employment opportunities and the vocational skills and knowledge base of the unemployed youth in the country and therefore, help them to get suitable employment opportunities. The findings and analyses provide a conceptualization of strategies to upgrade and enhance the relevance of vocational skills training and to improve access to skills. The study presents critical factors include macro-economic policies to maximize opportunities for pro-poor employment growth, an enabling environment for sustainable enterprise development, social dialogue and fundamental investments in basic education. Improving people’s skills is a real ‘win, win’ for all – for the economy, for society, for employers and, of course, for individuals themselves. Vocational education is a catchy buzzword that encompasses a variety of educational endeavors that try to promote behavior change among young people. The concept of Vocational Education is usually a mix of communication, negotiation and coping skills, which can vary from time management to refusal and assertion skills and so on.
