Ten Lessons TVET Leaders Know

Cont….

 

1. Effective leadership is the most important single input to TVET management.

2.     Learning and market operations can be integrated   especially in places where self employment is more likely than a traditional job.

3. Given government funding, a TVET institution without a significant non government revenue stream is going to cease operations in any real sense.

4. To create this new revenue stream, usually  the institution must have a service or   product it can sell.

5. To convince staff to develop this product or service, there must be incentives. Directives will NOT work.

6. To sell the service or product, there must be a buyer who is a customer or   client and/ or a student.

7. It is the institution's challenge to find the customer, determine exactly what service or product they wish to buy and then supply the service or product to the customer’s standards.

8. It is the institution's obligation to make certain that each customer is so happy about the experience of working with or learning in the institution, that they will not only ask for more services, but will recommend it to their friends and associates.

9. It is the employer’s (Government) obligation to give the Senior Administrator sufficient freedom to act, so he or she can respond to the market with the services and products that the market wants.  A Board Governance structure       can be helpful over time. The employer may also be industry, NGO or private owners.

10. It is also important that Governments leave most of the income in the institution so that it can be used to achieve the institution’s goals.
