This paper endeavours to contribute to filling this gap. It argues that examining the factors that influence access, equity and outcomes of TVET and education may not be possible without being embedded in their socio-economic context. A main finding of the paper is that cluttered socio-economic conditions and the public governance system in Sudan have resulted in a weak TVET system – severely deficient finance, contraction, inadequacy and irrelevance of provision, and uncoordinated institutional governance. Industrial employers’ response is to rely largely on informal apprenticeship, which, while helping the poor and creating employment, may not be a replacement for formal TVET provision. A further finding is that the sector is neglecting rural and conflict-ridden regions and girls.","PeriodicalId":56351,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Training Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14480220.2019.1690737","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48178529","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}

Training and development programmes focus on groups and teams to improve performance. The perspective of this study was that training and development programmes should develop teams within a life paradigm. Participants were 13 university graduates who held various positions in organisations. All participants were recruited from Johannesburg, were female and ages ranged from 24 to 31 years. A questionnaire developed for this study based on Wheelan`s integrative model of group development was used to collect information from participants. The snowballing method was used to access participants. Thematic content analysis was used to analyse data. The results revealed that theory was aligned to group training experience in organisations. Future studies could assess team-building initiatives and effectiveness at each stage of group development.","PeriodicalId":56351,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Training Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14480220.2019.1690745","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42764264","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}

With Ugandan students’ voices, this article examines some of the methodological dilemmas of agricultural education and training. The article draws from evidence generated through a qualitative case study of a public agricultural college. We undertook the study in line with our conceptual argument for mainstreaming young people’s voices in the search for solutions to improve agricultural education practice. The study explored and analysed students’ experiences and perceptions of the college’s vocational pedagogy. Findings that uncover weak agricultural vocational pedagogy at the case study college are analysed and discussed to inform our recommendation for the embedding of craftsmanship virtues in vocational education practice to optimise students’ achievement.","PeriodicalId":56351,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Training Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14480220.2019.1685161","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43298014","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}

Training satisfaction is also a strong predictor of the degree to which people use the knowledge they gain in training. To improve innovation training processes, therefore, it would be useful to have a theoretically sound, empirically validated instrument to measure innovation training satisfaction. We propose and validate such an instrument derived from the Yield Shift Theory of satisfaction in a field study of innovation training satisfaction in the U.S.A and China. The findings of the study demonstrated the convergent and discriminant validity of the instrument, and the results were consistent with the causal relationships proposed by the theory, suggesting that the theory may be a useful explanation for satisfaction effects and as a way to measure training satisfaction. We discuss the implications of the findings for research and practice.","PeriodicalId":56351,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Training Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14480220.2019.1685159","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43222313","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}

Such demands are generated by a relentless stream of technological advancements, demographic shifts and the need to be competitive in a global market. Within this constantly changing environment, work and workplaces are transforming and while some occupations and skills are becoming obsolete, others are emerging. Responsibility for addressing this situation rests to a large extent with VET systems as vocational education is seen by a majority of countries to be pivotal in ‘developing the productive capacity of people, their societies and their economies’ (Wheelahan & Moodie, 2016, p. 9). In recent times in Australia falling apprentice numbers and quality issues with VET have beenparticularly concerning for government andother VET stakeholders. TheCommonwealth Government’s response has been to initiate a review of the sector. The recently published report, Strengthening skills: Expert review of Australia’s vocational education and training system (Australian Government, 2019; Joyce, 2019), highlights a number of key areas requiring reform if VET is to fulfil its role of skilling the Australian workforce for the future. The areas for improvement include enhancing quality assurance processes, accelerating qualification development, simplifying the funding of VET and providing greater access for disadvantaged Australians. Also stressed within the report are the development of clearer pathways for young people to VET from school and the provision of better information on potential careers. The introduction of a National Skills Commission and a National Careers Institute feature amongst the review’s recommendations and form key components of a comprehensive blueprint to reinvigorate the VET system.

The study examines the opinions of 251 respondents through the lens of Archer’s agency and structure theory. The study considers the transition issues from learning skills to earning income for a living. Findings of the study reveal that most graduates of vocational agriculture are less likely to establish a farm/enterprise of their own and the majority want to obtain certificates required for securing employment in paying jobs.

Infrastructure investments play a particularly important role in expanding overall employment opportunities either directly by absorbing workers or indirectly by crowding in private investments, technology adoption, and production activities through which new jobs are created. As investments in infrastructure increasingly address the integration of technology and sustainability principles, the nature of jobs and skill requirements are also changing. On one hand, augmented public funding can favor infrastructure investments that have higher employment elasticity to ensure adequate job creation. On the other hand, the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution calls for a more skill-intensive workforce. Using findings from existing studies on infrastructure and data from Asian Development Bank, this paper discusses changing infrastructure investments in a rapidly changing technological environment and how developing countries can reap employment creation benefits through innovations.","PeriodicalId":56351,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Training Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14480220.2019.1629724","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47648275","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}

The extent to which skills are actually utilized and whether workers are rewarded for their skilling efforts are influenced by the context of work.
