Title: | Determinants of successful completion of construction craft apprenticeship in Lagos State, Nigeria : a qualitative study | Authors: | Osuizugbo, IC Kukoyi, PO Aluko, RO Akindele, NA |
Issue Date: | 2022 | Source: | Journal of construction in developing countries, 2022, v. 27, no. 2, p. 163-182 | Abstract: | Apprenticeships provide young people with training and improve the supply of workers in the construction sector. In Nigeria, there is a large influx of craftspeople from neighbouring countries. This situation has led to an increase in the rate of youth employment. The current study seeks to address the following questions: (1) “What are the factors responsible for the non-completion of construction crafts apprenticeship?” and (2) “What are the determinants of successful completion of construction crafts apprenticeship?”. Semi-structured interviews with 46 correspondents were conducted with relevant stakeholders involved in apprenticeship in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study reveals that “Lack of information on the content of training programme”, “Financial difficulties”, “Bullying”, “Lack of interest” and “Work-life balance” as factors responsible for non-completion. In contrast, it was found that “Personal interest and motivation”, “Parental and family support”, “Personality of the trainer” and “Potential to earn income” are determinants of successful completion of construction crafts apprenticeship. This finding can be used to develop strategies for improving outcomes of construction craftspeople apprenticeships. The study contributes to the knowledge of apprenticeships in the field of construction and vocational education. | Keywords: | Apprenticeship Completion Construction craft Lagos Qualitative study |
