The status of non-formal skills training centers

GNRS education bureau in general and the selected Woreda education office and CSTCs in particular were endeavoring to play significant roles in providing the non-formal livelihood skills training, the finding of the study indicated that most of the training centers were not carrying out in a better way as expected. The NFST programs provided in CSTCs were poorly organized, managed, structured, staffed, equipped and facilitated in human and non-human resources. Because of poor attention given from the concerned bodies and management practices on the training programs of CSTCs and their inadequate institutional capacities, the actual contributions of the training centers to the local community are very minimal.
