Abstract

This study investigated the state of the apprenticeship system of furniture making in Edo State using a simple survey research design. The population comprised of all the 650 trainers and 1,400 trainees engaged in apprenticeship in furniture-making in Edo State of Nigeria. The sample consisted of 500 trainers and 1000 trainees randomly drawn from the population. A 74-item questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. Mean, Standard Deviation and t-test were statistical tools used for data analysis. Findings include among others narrow content, untrained trainers, lack of facilities and equipment, poor funding, lack of support from government; trainees involved in domestic activities, and workshops not accredited. It was recommended among others that re-training programmes should be organized for trainers by government, industries, and non-governmental agencies and organizations and trainees should not be used as domestic servants.
