The role of training providers in manpower planning

Vocational Aspect of Education
Journal · Vol. 45 · Issue 3 · pp. 251-263
Abstract

Traditional approaches to manpower requirement forecasting have been unhelpful in enabling technical and vocational training organisations to identify the future skills needs of industry and business. This paper examines the problems faced by institutions in improving their understanding of future training needs. It draws on research In Nigeria and Thailand, as well as existing literature, and highlights techniques which the institutions themselves might initiate in order to improve the information base from which they can plan their provision. © 1993 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
