This is a research done to examine and identify the major constraints at levels 3 and 4 of TVET colleges inrnproviding training. The researcher was specifically inspired to study this area as there existed and stillrnexist various problems in providing training in the TVET colleges; the salient ones being the factorsrnaffecting training performances unfavorably and those which adversely influence the apprenticeshiprnprogram.rnThe study aims at solving two key problems that restricted the colleges in the provision of qualityrntraining: the major institutional factors and apprenticeship-related issues affecting the trainingrnperformance of TVET colleges. The scope of the study, on the one hand, covers six of the ten nonagriculturalrnTVET colleges in the Amhara National Regional State.rnBesides the inferential and descriptive statistics employed as research methodology, the investigator alsornmade use of a mixed approach of data analysis. And to this purpose, both quantitative and qualitativernapproaches were used. The data collection instruments used were questionnaires, interviews, focus grouprndiscussion and observation. While 400 trainees out of the 5000 and 260 trainers out of the 800 werernselected using stratified random sampling technique; the availability sampling technique was used tornselect the deans, apprenticeship officers, etc.rnIn the attempts made to discover the factors which have effects on the training program, the writer ofrnthis paper set some nine variables that do have direct or indirect repercussions on the trainingrnperformance. These were: physical set up, information, trainers' capacity, motivation of trainers andrntrainees, guidance and counseling services, provision of training materials, management, trainingrnprocess, and finally apprenticeship program. The results of the research unambiguously revealed that allrnthe variables, tested through various techniques and confirmed by the various respondents, werernpractically affecting the training program of TVET colleges.rnThus, the general implication that can be drawn from the study is that the management in the colleges,rnthe TVET commission, the trainers, the trainees, both private and government firms, the governmentrn(both regional and federal), and the SOCiety are responsible to all the impediments on the quality of thernTVET colleges training program. The research, moreover, implied that the trainees who have undergonernthrough such an impaired training program could not be competent enough in the world of work.rnTherefore, the writer expresses his conviction that the findings of this research do add a lot of worthwhilernpropositions to the body of knowledge and expects a realistic measures on the part of all the stakeholdersrnas their contributions can positively change the status to a considerable leap
