“…If the trainer is working in the same field, then the participants will receive feedback regarding performance directly. As described at the beginning of this chapter, OJT is very important to develop the skills of employees that work in any field (Grover & Miller, 2019;Smith, 2002).…”

Although training techniques are just right, learning cannot happen if the experience is not arranged properly. So, when drawing up a program of training and development, a very important set of learning stages during a training program or development and to provide the conditions that will sustain the performance in time. The descriptive method is used to search the fact with proper interpretation prior to implementing training programs, responsibility for learning and support the transfer of new behaviors. The content of the training program should be the same as the purpose of the lesson. Some types of learning objectives are the cognitive knowledge, technical skills or interpersonal, effective results, and ethical behavior.

“…In his original papers, Rosenfeld [11,12] indicated that continued training programmes funded by public sources were a fundamental element in the relationships between VET schools and business environments, as the adoption of new technologies by the latter (often composed of SMEs) entailed a parallel investment in workers' training. Other studies have pointed to the positive synergies between the academic base of institutes and their worker training programmes [13,[28][29][30]. Recently, Fletcher [31] (p. 373) claimed that US community colleges "became a primary tool for economic and workforce development".…”

“…Overall, the effects of continued, adult training for VET institutes seem to be positive, although some authors have warned about the risk of diverting attention from certain aspects of the core mission of VET schools (e.g., a wider, humanistic concept of education, and attention to undergraduates with special needs) [13,14]. The international literature has also pointed out difficulties faced by VET institutes in offering continued training services and in integrating the formal and continued training branches [28,30].…”

Exploring the Intensity of Relationships with Vocational Education Centres: A Typology of Spanish SMEs

et al. 2021

Even though the availability of skilled labour and technological know-how is critical to the sustainability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the relationships between industry and the vocational education system have received little attention in the recent literature regarding social aspects of innovation. The objective of this paper is to analyse the intensity of relationships between industrial SMEs and vocational education and training (VET) centres from the firms’ perspective. The study is based on a survey carried out with a sample of 1388 Spanish industrial SMEs with vocational education graduates among their employees. Multivariate hierarchical segmentation techniques were used in order to identify the main explanatory variables. As a result, we obtained a typology (“tree”) of eight organizational profiles associated to different intensity levels (from higher to lower) of relationships between firms and schools. The results show that most industrial SMEs maintain relations with vocational education centres, reflecting the importance of the latter for the companies. The organisational type having the highest level of relations refers to SMEs with experience in external cooperation (cooperation with other actors in innovation projects) which have vocational education employees (graduates) in technical areas and which are bigger in size. Likewise, the results suggest that fruitful collaboration between SMEs and vocational education centres depends on the existence of an established culture of innovation among the smaller firms. This work sheds light on economic and social sustainability. Its results and discussion are linked to the objectives of United Nations sustainable development goals and the recent communication from the European Commission to the European Parliament entitled “European skills agenda for sustainable competitiveness, social fairness, and resilience”.

“…Cohen, Manion and Morrison (2007) observed that positivism utilises observation and reason as a tools to analyse and comprehend behaviour through scientific description. Grover (2015) noted that positivism places a heavy emphasis on probability and the variation of results obtained in varied situations and environments. Positivism is concerned with precision and absolute truth obtained using experiments, and the measurements are largely represented by quantitative data methods.…”

“…It also provides acknowledgment of the fact that research always occurs within social, historical, political, and other contexts. Research arises from actions, situations, and consequences, and the pragmatic approach focuses on actions and consequences rather than on causes and effects, as is the case when using post-positivism (Grover, 2015).…”

This great journey was made possible by a multitude of great and wonderful people along the way. I dedicate this study to my parents, Libunyu Ndivhuwo and Khathutshelo Nyadzani, for instilling in me the desire to seek knowledge and the mental fortitude to persevere when trials are encountered. They also instilled the belief that self-improvement is a goal that must continuously be sought, and that the process imparts the capability to wield knowledge for the betterment of one's state.Guidance must be sought when conceding the possibility that one lacks experience. As such, boundless gratitude must be conferred to my academic supervisor, Professor Lovemore Chipungu, for his counsel throughout the project. His counsel illustrated his incredible grasp of the academic field and the interplay it has with governance, policy implementation, and society in general. The support and encouragement he displayed throughout the process highlighted the commitment he has to his students, and for that I am grateful.With great humility and sincerity, the researcher hopes to impart the knowledge and findings of the project to society. Furthermore, he hopes to stoke and feed the fire for the pursuit for academic enlightenment. The conservation of momentum principle states that energy must be infused into the system for it to continue advancing, and the desire to advance and action are required for progress to transpire.
