International Journal of Management (IJM), 2020
The skill set required to grab and succeed in an employment is Employability skills. These are considered as a personal capability to get recruited and placed in a suitable job as well as to continue and grow in that assignment. It is a debating point that Keralites in general are intellectual persons but their personal skills are seemed to be not conducive enough to utilize promptly in an organisational set up. The entrepreneurship is another vital virtue needed to make the economy and society vibrant. The skill set required to be a successful entrepreneur is the entrepreneurial skills. But it is seemed that the entrepreneurial skills of the Keralites are low due to their reluctance to take risk and to experiment with business ideas. In this realm, the present study investigates the employability skills as well as entrepreneurial skills of the youth as these are the vital influencing components in the discussion and study of the subject of employment and unemployment. Unemployment among youth is one of the serious issues of our state. Therefore it is pertinent to have a look into the present status of employability skills and entrepreneurial skills of the youth. This study gives focus to the educated youth because educated unemployment is seen as one of the worst problems hitting our state. This is due to the changes happening in the field of business and employment. And the study is purported to portray the level of employability and entrepreneurial skills among educated youth in Kerala through a sample survey conducted among 594 educated youth. They were provided with a questionnaire to rate their skill sets using five point Likert Scale. Systematic Random Sampling technique is used to draw samples from the population.
THE EFFECT OF ENTREPRENEURIAL TRAINING ON TVET STUDENTS OF SUNYANI POLYTECHNIC
Abstract Skills and knowledge are essential ingredients for socio-economic growth for any country. Countries that have accumulated knowledge and skills are always in a better position to respond positively to challenges and opportunities of economic growth and curb unemployment. Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is one of the avenues through which institutions sharpen the skills and knowledge of their products to engage in the world of work. In Ghana, there is an alarming rate of graduate unemployment. According to the developmental documents, small scale industry and the private sector is the engine of growth for the country’s economy since the government alone cannot employ all graduates. It is against this background that the TVET curricula of Polytechnic programmes in Ghana are structured to include entrepreneurial training, with the aim of equipping or building the capability of the students and to motivate their graduates and students to establish their own businesses, employ others and help reduce unemployment in Ghana. The paper examines the effect of entrepreneurial training on students pursuing TVET programmes in Sunyani Polytechnic. The authors conducted telephone interviews with former Sunyani Polytechnic students and administered questionnaires to final year students of the Polytechnic. There was also a review of tracer study records to determine whether our graduates were self-employed or not. One of the major findings was that despite the entrepreneurial training, majority of the graduates were in the public sector. Again, most of the students believed that what they received in entrepreneurial training does not encourage them to start their own businesses. The paper recommends among others that the teaching of entrepreneurship in the Polytechnic should be made more practical and the duration extended to cover all the semesters of study.

Entrepreneurship education in vocational schools is vital because vocational schools have a unique and complex education system. Vocational education has the opportunity to generate students with practical abilities, knowledge, and skills for work. Such skills and knowledge are crucial to welcome the 4.0 industrial revolution era requiring human resource quality improvement. Therefore, this study reviews the importance of entrepreneurship education in vocational schools, especially in facing the challenges of the 4.0 era. We used a literature study method to analyze the related literature and discuss these issues. We conclude that entrepreneurship education is essential to shape the character of vocational students because such schools accommodate students with competencies for work. Hence, graduates are expected to create job vacancies and set up their businesses. Therefore, we need characterbuilding to support students' entrepreneurial spirit, and thus, it needs help from the community and the government. The community needs to trust vocational schools to produce graduates prepared for work and create job vacancies. The government also needs to trust the graduates by providing space to work well.
