Description
Summary:The study adopted the survey design. Sample comprised 1, 200 trainees, 420 trainers and 120 ex-trainees from six states in Southwestern Nigeria using stratified and multi-stage sampling technique. Three instruments titled “NDE Trainees’ Questionnaire (NTeQ), “NDE Trainers’ Questionnaire (NTrQ), and “NDE Ex-trainees’ Questionnaire (NTexQ) for trainees, trainers and ex-trainees respectively were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the NDE had about 30 job categories, and that there was inadequate availability of training equipment for the NDE vocational training programmes. The study, among others, recommends that NDE should ensure that trainers procure necessary training facilities for proper impartation of employable skills into the trainees.
