Abstract

: This study examined perceived employability & entrepreneurial skills of TVET graduates and the impact of these skills on gainful employment (self/paid) of the graduates. Data was collected from 317 (133 unemployed and 184 employed) TVET graduates that were selected from two randomly selected departments of the three randomly (Bahir-Dar, Gondar and Debretabor) selected TVET colleges. For both data collection and analysis the study utilized Concurrent embedded mixed research method (that encompasses the pragmatic philosophical world view). A questionnaire having Close ended and open-ended items as well as document analysis were the instruments used together data. For the analysis of the quantitative data, one sample t-test, independent sample t-test and multiple regression analysis were employed and the qualitative data was analyzed by embedding on the quantitative data. The results revealed that the mean perceived graduates’ employability skills were significantly lower than the expected value. Similarly, the mean perceived entrepreneurial skills of TVET graduates were significantly lower than the expected mean. Moreover, graduates job related satisfaction was found to be significantly low. Regression Analysis also revealed a lower contribution of the combined skills on job related satisfaction. Finally, the Beta value under standard coefficient designated that total employability skills was the largest value that makes the strongest and significant unique contribution to explain the lower Job satisfaction which was followed by entrepreneurial skills as the second unique significant predictor.
评估公共职业技术教育专业毕业生的就业能力和创业技能及其对就业的影响
本研究考察了TVET毕业生的感知就业能力和创业技能,以及这些技能对毕业生有酬就业(自雇/有偿)的影响。数据来自317名TVET毕业生(133名失业毕业生和184名就业毕业生),这些毕业生来自三所随机选择的TVET学院(Bahir-Dar, Gondar和Debretabor)的两个随机选择的院系。在数据收集和分析方面,本研究采用了并行嵌入式混合研究方法(包含实用主义哲学世界观)。采用封闭式和开放式项目的问卷调查和文献分析相结合的方法处理数据。定量数据的分析采用单样本t检验、独立样本t检验和多元回归分析,定性数据采用嵌入法对定量数据进行分析。结果显示,毕业生就业技能感知均值显著低于期望值。同样,职业技术教育专业毕业生的创业技能感知均值显著低于预期均值。此外,毕业生的工作满意度明显较低。回归分析还显示,综合技能对工作相关满意度的贡献较低。最后,标准系数下的Beta值表明,总就业能力技能是最大的值,对解释较低的工作满意度做出了最强烈和显著的独特贡献,其次是创业技能作为第二个独特的显著预测因子。
