Exploring Factors Affecting the Success of TVET-Industry Partnership: A Case ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the success of TVET-industry
partnerships. A case study design of the qualitative research method was used to achieve this objective. For the
study, one polytechnic college of Oromia regional state, and two industries were purposively selected. From the
sample polytechnic college and industries, a total of 17 sample respondents were selected. Out of 17
respondents, 10 respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method, and the rest 7 respondents were
selected using the purposive sampling technique. The qualitative data were collected through an in-depth
interview and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic approaches. The findings revealed that
TVET-industry partnerships were found weak. Lack of key stakeholder‟s awareness shortage of improved
training equipment and machines in polytechnic colleges, absence of trainee health insurance policy, lack of
incentive mechanisms for private industries, lack of employer industries involvement in designing and
developing occupational standards, and preparation of curriculum were some of the impediments of TVETindustry partnership. Based on the findings it was recommended that the Oromia TVET bureau in collaboration
with other relevant concerned regional authorities and TVET colleges, set new strategies for creating strong
awareness for industries, companies, and other relevant stakeholders on the purpose and advantages of
implementing successful TVET-industry partnership. Finally, the Oromia regional government in collaboration
with the TVET bureau needs to create policy-supported incentive strategies such as giving occasional privileges
of duty-free import, tax reduction, and regional government recognition awards based on the level of partnership
contribution to TVET institutions in promoting TVET-industry partnership.

Non-Financial Information and Firm Risk Non-Financial Information and Firm RiskAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This research aims to examine how ESG disclosure and risk disclosure affect the total risk of
companies. Using cross section data from 355 companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange, data regarding
ESG disclosure and risk was collected. In this research, ESG and risk disclosures are measured based on content
analysis using GRI 4 guidelines for ESG disclosures and COSO ERM for risk disclosures. Using multiple
regression, it is concluded that only risk disclosure can reduce the company's total risk, while ESG disclosure
cannot affect the company's total risk. This shows that only risk disclosure is relevant in determining a
company's total risk.
KEYWORDS: ESG disclosure, risk disclosure, firm risk

The Challenges of Good Governance and Project Implementation in Nigeria: A Re...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study reveals that systemic corruption and other factors including poor leadership,
leadership recruitment processes, ethnic and regional politics, tribalism and mediocrity, poor planning, and
variation of project design have been the causative factors that undermine projects implementation in postindependence African states, particularly in Nigeria. The study, thus, argued that successive governments of
African states, using Nigeria as a case study, have been deeply engrossed in this obnoxious practice that has
undermined infrastructure sector development as well as enthroned impoverishment and mass poverty in these
African countries. This study, therefore, is posed to examine the similarities in causative factors, effects and
consequences of corruption and how it affects governance, projects implementation and national growth. To
achieve this, the study adopted historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. The
study among others suggests that the governments of developing countries should shun corruption and other
forms of obnoxious practices in order to operate effective and efficient systems that promote good governance
and ensure there is adequate projects implementation which are the attributes of a responsible government and
good leadership. Policy makers should also prioritize policy objectives and competence to ensure that policies
are fully implemented within stipulated time frame.

“To be integrated is to feel secure, to feel connected.” The views and experi...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

6. Six Reasons I use LinkedIn
1. Develop a professional brand and identity
2. Expand your network – keep in contact as people change companies
3. Interact with other professionals
4. Use a business intelligence tool
5. Obtain targeted news delivered daily by LinkedIn
6. Stay on top of industry trends by following and participating in groups
7. Creating a LinkedIn profile is an excellent way to establish and own your
professional identity online. LinkedIn profiles typically appear among the top
search results when people search by name.
Your Profile, Your Brand
17. On LinkedIn, the basic type of connection is a contact you know
personally and who you trust on a professional level.
You create connections by sending and accepting invitations.
Once you've "connected" to them on LinkedIn, you can
communicate with them directly and see their entire profile. You
also have an extended network of connections made up of
people who your connections know.
What is a Connection?
22. The LinkedIn User Agreement states that they have the right to
restrict, suspend, or close your account if warranted.
The most common reason for a restriction is sending too many
invitations to people you don't know.
• A restriction is automatically triggered if too many invitations
are:
– Declined with the I don't know response.
– Flagged as Spam.
Fair Warning
23. Tips to prevent restrictions:
• Invite only people that you personally know.
• Invite only those you'd recommend to others.
• Personalize your invitation message. Explain how you know
them or why you want to connect.
• Add a current, professional, head-shot photo to your profile
so people recognize you.
• Use an InMail or Introduction if you don't know someone's
email address.
Making Safe Connections
29. For a business, it's the opportunity to:
• Tell your company's story
• Highlight your products and services
• Engage with followers
• Share career opportunities
• Drive word of mouth at scale
LinkedIn Company Pages
30. For millions of professionals, a Company Page is a place
to:
• Explore companies of interest
• Get the latest company updates and industry news
• Research products & services
• Learn about job opportunities
LinkedIn Company Pages
31. Using LinkedIn Groups is a great way for organizations
to keep in touch with their members about current
events and to discuss issues of common interest.
LinkedIn Groups
32. Here are a few types of groups that are currently on
LinkedIn:
– Corporate
– College alumni
– Nonprofit
– Trade organizations
– Conferences
– Industry-specific
LinkedIn Types of Groups
71. • Remember: the written word is forever.
• Don’t be too spammy – Social networks are all about the
conversation. Engage with people, add value, listen, share ideas,
like other peoples comments, and present your marketing – don’t
just present your marketing.
• Don’t be confrontational. Try to resolve problems the same way
you would if you were face to face with the person… on stage… in
front of thousands… and as if it’s being recorded.
• Use the same decorum that you would use in any public event you
attend when representing our brand.
• Support each other’s comments where you agree and share.
LinkedIn Protecting your brand
72. Measure success - Measure quarterly for growth:
• The number of people in network
• Website referral traffic from LinkedIn
• Measure new names to Salesforce with LinkedIn key
code.
• Measure sales leads and closed sales.

Networking with other professionals
A ‘virtual’ CRM Tool that is more up-to-date than any other you might maintain (Salesforce, ACT, etc.)
Fostering their professional identity
Keep up with industry news
*Business Intelligence
Develop your personal brand and professional identity
Add credibility
Stay in touch with people as they change jobs and roles
You can learn a lot from reading other conversations
Wanting to target a certain demographic – find people, build your intelligence – who is still there? Who has left?
If you are targeting a specific market segment you can get involved in groups that specialize in that market and learn their industry and their players.
First impression.
Take a look at your profile. Do you have:
A picture
Are your skills and experience up-to-date? Is it what you want to be selling?
Is there a way for someone to contact you?
Consolidate your profiles if you have more than one.
This is an example of a good profile.
People will be more likely to accept your invitations if you profile is professional
The summary is an important section where you can tell your professional story: goals, objectives, background, interests and aspirations. If you don’t yet have a summary, you may add one:

It credentials you.

Recommendations are other people endorsing you = credibility.

An activity is any time you post something, share something, comment on something, join a group, connect, update your profile, basically everything you do on LinkedIn shows in your stream and its visible to your connections.
The more people who “like” or comment on it it the higher it appears in the feed.
You’ll make it into peoples’ email inbox.
The Privacy & Settings or Sign out links can be found when you move your cursor over your profile picture in the top right of your homepage.
The more people you know the further your voice is going to reach.
Recommend using the “More ways to connect” For example if you go to a conference and you get email addresses from people reach out to them via this and connect.
This is your “contact list” on LinkedIn. Becomes an address book that is accurate.
You can filter this in a number of different ways…
Classic challenge: when a person leaves a company and you lose track of him/her. LinkedIn is a great way to stay in contact with people throughout their career.
Prepare – make connections - You should:
Send an invitation to “connect” to every person in your professional contact list who is on LinkedIn.
Give recommendations. Give Endorsements. Ask for recommendations from people you’ve had successful professional encounters with.
Share marketing collateral. When OW produces a new white paper or case study etc. we “share it” with our networks on Linkedin. You should also. You can do this by simply clicking “share” or “like” beneath the post; thereby sharing it with your connections.
Filter by company
Look up Retail, Chemicals, Medical Devices, Pharma, etc…. Huge tool for marketing intelligence. Need to have a network. Be generous with your accepting and offering invitations.
Build you network over time. Be timely. If you are at a conference, connect with those people as soon as you get back to the office.
You can purchase a business account that will allow you to send more InMails.
Import your connections into your CRM – most likely more up to date on linkedin. Follow them where they go.
You can build your network and stay on top of industry trends is to follow Companies, I follow companies I work for, I follow companies I want to work for, I follow companies that influence deals, I follow companies that are competitors. By following companies, you will be able to find ways to connect with their leaders, decision makers and employees. It will also give you a great news feed that offers a pulse of what is going on (who’s merging, who’s hiring, who’s launching a new product, who’s been promoted, etc). You can follow a company by looking up their name under “Companies” and simply click Follow.
People will look up our company and this is the page they will see.
People who follow our company share a common bond. These people may never visit our website, but this is another way for us to get in front of them as a company.
If you don’t follow it already, please go follow the company.
Invite people to follow the company on LinkedIn – expands our reach
You may want to look at who our followers are and connect with them as a way to expand your network.

Invite people to follow the company on LinkedIn – expands our reach
You may want to look at who our followers are and connect with them as a way to expand your network.
Expand your network is to join Groups in your area of expertise and that service and support the industries you want to reach. In other words, get into the groups where potential clients and buyers are. You can do this passively at to begin with – and just watch the traffic, conversations, monitor trends, who’s discussing what, who the players are.
As time goes on, you may see articles and news items that affect the industry. You can share that content in these groups and “get noticed” by the folks that might hired you – building awareness of you, your services and your brand. You can also develop your own content (what you write for your blog) and then share it here. The ideas is to develop an ‘inbound’ marketing strategy that gets folks to come and visit your website and connect with your there.
Also, when you are watching traffic in groups, you will notice folks you want to be connected to. I believe with a basic LinkedIn account, you can invite a few of these folks a month -I need to look this up as it may have changed. ( I have a premium account which allows me to do more—which is one benefit of paying for the premium account that I think makes it worth it. It is not necessary to pay for LinkedIn – but if you get very active here you may find value. There is a great deal you can do with a free “basic” account that will serve you well until you are ready to do more!)
Research contacts in your space or near your space and the topics that might interest you. Take a look and see if you think some of these would be good for you to join.
You can easily join and leave groups (look under Interests / Groups and then search for group under the name you would like to check out. When you join a group, you can select how you want to get notified about discussions going on in that group. I like to have a “weekly digest email” sent to my email inbox. You can make other selections based on your preferences. I find the weekly thing helps me stay on top of what is what, without getting overwhelmed in email…
You also can find more groups that might interest you by looking at your connections’ profile pages and seeing who THEY follow. When you do it this way, you need only click on the group they follow and you’ll be able to go right to it and check it out.

It is not necessary to pay for LinkedIn – but if you get very active here you may find value. There is a great deal you can do with a free “basic” account that will serve you well until you are ready to do more!)
Research contacts in your space or near your space and the topics that might interest you. Take a look and see if you think some of these would be good for you to join.
