Training for Ghost Employers in a Fluid Labour Market in Zambia

Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Pedagogy - Job Education, Further Education, grade: 1, Kwame Nkrumah University, language: English, abstract: This study argues that training institutions in Zambia are merely churning out graduates to Ghosts as they do not know which Labour market is going to employ their products. Drawing from the above argument, the study set out to find out whether university graduates access the Labour market in their area of specialization. Being qualitative research, data collection was done through face-to-face in-depth interviews while documents such as newspapers were used as a secondary source of data. A total of 25 graduates from 3 public universities were interviewed through face to face interaction. Some scholars have described education as the live wire of its industries and also as the foundation of moral regeneration and the revival of its people. It is also said to be the force and bulwark of any nation's defence and according to Orji and Maekae, no nation rises above the level of its education.
