Abstract:
The study examined the impact of technical and vocational educational education
(TVET) on youth unemployment in Ghana within the La Nkwantanang-Madina
municipality, of the Greater Accra Region. The target population for the study were
graduates of any Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) institute in the
country, who were working with industries, institutions and Small and Medium
Enterprises (SMEs) within the municipality. A total of one hundred and thirty-five
respondents were used for the study analysis. The study findings indicated that, TVET
plays a significant role in the reduction of youth unemployment rates in Ghana as well
as improving their standard of living. The study recommends that the government
especially should encourage industrial development. As part of the efforts to create
demand for technical and vocational skills, it is important for COTVET to address
gaps between the supply and demand of skills. To develop the necessary links
between industry and training, to improved labour market information is essential.
