Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
In Ghana the dissemination and use of Technical and Vocational knowledge in industry have a great importance for both national and international competitiveness. In the developed countries, improving the job skills of the work force has been a cornerstone of their economic development. Technical and vocational training in these countries receives momentous assistance with an improved resource allocation to enhance competence. The world is changing fast both economically and technologically, whiles global competition is not perfect in traditional raw natural resource exportation. Free trade has not yet been equated to fair trade and competition for ideas has never been stronger without the acquisition of technical and vocation skills. The principal concept of a country development is no longer the question of that country’s riches in natural resources but how well industrially, established is that country and skillful technical competence of its workforce to handle and transform those natural resources to wealth for economic growth. This paper reviews the TVET prospects available in Ghana for industrial and economic development, which will attest to the fact that countries with well-developed technical and vocational education training skills lead the world in an improved economic living standard.
