“…There is great potential in enhancing the entrepreneurial mindset of learners in TVET institutions in order to create many job creators (Dahalan, D. et al, 2018) [18].

“…Overall, studies validate and continually applaud the labour market potentials of TVETas education for work (Park, 2005;Bakar, 2011). However, the issue of the mismatch persists (Remington, 2018; Capelli, 2014; Deloitte and Manufacturing Institute, 2015; McGowan and Andrews, 2015; Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), 2016; Wright, 2013); underemployment and unemployment after graduation (OECD, 2013; Hoffman and Schwartz, 2017); non-recognition of higher qualification (Ismail et al, 2018;Remington, 2018). The bigger challenges lie in graduates not fitting into the supposed careers due to poor skills (Remington, 2018) resulting from training conducted using obsolete equipment (Park, 2005; Baka, 2011) thereby requiring retraining by the industries (Remington, 2018) -as in the case of Nigeria and Malaysia (Okoye & Arimonu, 2016; Bakar, 2011) among others.…”

According to Boeri, Van and Ours (2013), it is the market where the number of services corresponding to tasks established in the job description is rendered for remuneration. In the labour market, individuals/employees represent sellers and suppliers of knowledge, skills and experiences. In contrast, companies/industries act as buyers, demanders and bidders of payment and working conditions (Serena, 2017). Amidst the functions of the labour market (Dorofeev 2014) is the provision of information necessary to guide the experience offered and training provided in education, vocational training and retraining of educational experts, as a way of ensuring that supply meets demands. Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has been adopted and positioned as a panacea to meeting current and future labour market demands. According to Park (2005), TVET is the systematic and orderly transmission of knowledge, skills and values to develop a workforce that can enhance productivity and sustain competitiveness in
