Abstract

The study assessed tailoring facilities used in training beneficiaries of
School-on-Wheel Scheme of National Directorate of Employment on
tailoring occupation in Anambra State. Descriptive survey design was used.
The study population was 328. A sample of 103 was drawn using snowball
technique plus all the scheme’s 15-tailor-instructors, making the total sample
118. Data were collected using a questionnaire; focus group discussions
provided in-depth information. Frequency, mean, standard deviation and t-
test were used in data analysis. Nine training facilities were found to be
functionally available with six in right quantities. Epileptic power supply
rendered few available electrical facilities non-functional. Staff enumeration
was adequate, nevertheless, office accommodation, training consumables,
take-off grants for beneficiaries were grossly inadequate. Clearer policy
framework, adequate funding and further research were recommended by
the study.
