Design and Implementation of Mini- School Workshop for Specific Skill Acquisition among Electrical Graduates of Federal College of Education (Technical), Asaba.

Abstract

Many electrical electronic graduates have very little practical knowledge or skill in the area of their studies.  they therefore lack the confidence to practice in the world of works. Hence, after graduation they settle for  jobs in which they do not derive satisfaction.  The design and implementation of a mini workshop   was therefore carried out to enhance electrical installation skills among electrical technology education graduates. The workshop was design to accommodate twelve students working simultaneously. Six work tables and four wiring boards were selected to be mounted at different positions within the workshop. Specialized electrical installation hand and power tools were procured for the workshop. Other workshops imperatives including fire extinguisher, safety signs, step ladder, table vice e.t.c were among other items acquired. It is recommended that experienced instructors be employed to teach the relevant skills to these groups of students by making use of the workshop.
