evidence informed practice for unemployed and disadvantaged youth

This book analyses the accessibility and success of vocational training programmes for unemployed and disadvantaged youth in Sub-Saharan Africa. Examining the implementation of vocational education and training programmes, the author assesses various internal and external enabling factors that can help foster youth employment. In doing so, the author presents a solid base for robust and evidence-informed practice and policy making for vocational training programmes, analysing such themes as employability skills, the labour market, and work-integrated learning. It also emphasises the importance of stakeholders taking into account the enabling and disabling environments found in a given local, regional or national context. It will be of interest to scholars of vocational training programmes in Sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere, as well as of youth poverty and unemployment. Celestin Mayombe is a senior lecturer in the School of Professional Studies in Education, at North-West University, South Africa. He researches primarily in youth unemployment and poverty, and is active in the sphere of community engagement.--, Provided by Publisher
