What is it about?
National Open Apprenticeship Scheme was one of the innovative programmes designed and implemented by NDE to combat the problem of mass unemployment. It was meant to provide unemployed youth with vocational skills that could enable them to be self-employed. The study investigated the extent to which the National Directorate of Employment has fulfilled its mandate of combating youth unemployment in Bwari Area Council through survey research design.

Why is it important?
Despite the far-reaching findings of the various studies reviewed, none was conducted in Bwari Area Council which is the area of study for this study. Hence, no effort let alone thought-provoking had been made to assess the relationship between NOAS and youth employment in Bwari Area Council. In addition, neither of the studies particularly examined the degree to which the implementation of NOAS has reduced the rate of youth unemployment in Bwari Area Council.
