Planning and Designing Online Vocational Skill Showcasing Platform: From an Educational Perspective

Abstract

This paper identified emerging development in utilizing information technology towards the forceful dispersal of information relating to vocational skills. It focused on a significant challenge of generating funds from vocational skills. The paper justified the need for a system that provides relevant information relating to vocational skills to the learned and unlearned and generating income for those who possess the skills in a case study. The paper encapsulates a vis-a-vis oral interview and a focus group method addressing students of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, with dexterous vocational skills, as well as vocational workers at the vocational centers within the OAU community in order to know their views on showcasing their skills on a web platform. Overall data were collected from 176 respondents, with 40 students who have vocational skills responding, and the remaining 136 responses from the vocational workers who are not students. The analysis attests to the fact that it is crucial to have a platform that allows people to showcase their potentials, vocational skills, dexterity, and talents.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria infection among Mycobacterium tuberculosis patients attending tuberculosis referral centers in Nasarawa State, Nigeria

“…The prevalence of NTM with respect to age in this study were 16.4% and 11.9% among ages 41-50 and 61-and above, this could be attributed to the level of activities such as farming and other field jobs carried out which exposes these patients to these environmental saprophytes. This was also observed in a work carried out by [8] at Kaduna and Zaria, Nigeria, where they reported higher (58.0%) prevalence of NTM among adult TB suspects. Though MTBC is thought to be an infection related to age, our work reported a high (40.0%) MTBC prevalence among children ages 10 and below.…”

“…Several factors such as an ageing population with chronic lung disease and advances in radiological diagnostics that have improved the identification of pulmonary abnormalities [8] may contribute to the emergence of NTM-pulmonary disease. Epidemiological and descriptive studies of patients with non-mycobacterial infection are many, but gaps in knowledge still remain.…”

Improving Random Forest Algorithm for University Academic Affairs Management System Platform Construction

“…With the acceleration of the informatization construction in higher vocational colleges, problems in the expansion and integration, energy consumption, and other aspects of the software and hardware resources of the educational administration management system platform have become increasingly prominent [19]. ey are embodied in the low ecological sustainability of the system, the waste of server performance in daily operation, and the insufficient carrying capacity under the condition of high concurrency.…”

Prediction of the graduation rate of engineering education students using Artificial Neural Network Algorithms

“…Universities are required to be able to design and implement innovative learning processes so that students can achieve optimal learning outcomes (Yustisia et al, 2021). Learned power skills to do something competently (Gambo et al, 2021). What competencies students really have at the beginning of their studies will affect their learning styles in higher education (Behrendt et al, 2015).…”
