Özet

I have come across that some people with technical education who are being unemployed in the domestic job market is curious which made me selecting this issue. Very few researches have conducted on this issue in Nepalese context, so it becomes important to carry out a research to explore the reality. This study attempts to explore various themes in between the content and learning outcomes of technical education. While developing this paper I have prepared the research question as why there is a gap between content and learning outcomes in TVET programs. As methodological approach I used interpretive paradigm i.e. qualitative approach. First, I raised the issue then interviewed the participant, transcribe the record, generate themes and interpret the themes with the support of literature and theory. This research was delimited to content verses learning outcomes component and other issues were ignored. It was limited to CTEVT programs only. Primary data were collected based on interview. After interpreting the data I came to conclude that improper allocation of budget, weak linkage in education, improper management, traditional approaches of teaching, not upgraded curriculum, and the learning environment is affected by politics. Based on the findings and conclusion, I have suggested some implications to cater the problems as to adopt new technology like ICT, encourage small business activities, meet employer’s expectation, enhance council’s staff capacity, allocate sufficient economic resources, connect training to work experience, decentralize and institutionalize the management.
