Abstract

One of the Major challenges of technical vocational and education and training institutions is unmet demand of the market and unemployment of country’s socio-economic development activities. In the last decades, The TVET industries developed vocational and skills training programmers as integral parts of broader strategies to promote development and employment. Even though there is no document/study/ which tell how the former graduates /before reinstated of TVET/ exposed to the real market/work and what faces to them, the informal communication expresses their worthiness on the job has a problem. The primary objective of a tracer study is to measure the relevance of technical and vocational training programmes and the number of trainees who have been employed or unemployed in their fields of training, as well as to assess their skill gaps for further training. the data of graduated trainees, employed and un employed trainees are not well compile as a source at department level as well as at college level as well as shortage of logistics cooperativeness of some departments, The study was Utilized a descriptive survey method for generating qualitative and quantitative data. Secondary data also gathered. Overall results of the tracer study shows that respondents were asked to indicate whether they are currently employed or unemployed and looking for employment. The general employment status of respondents is shows that 56 percent of the respondents were employed while 44 percent of the respondents were unemployed. The assessment result revealed that the respondents are unexpectedly dependent on Family relationship (Nepotism) for looking for their jobs rather than formal mechanisms. In order to give solution for unemployment of youths especially for females we should adjust additional tutorial class as well as financial support with relation to all stake holders. The collage also organized Guidance and counseling service for all trainees in a regular programme and awareness creation for the society as a whole.
