THE ROLE OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING ON MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT IN ENUGU STATE
ABSTRACT
The topic of this research is the Role of Industrial Training on Manpower Development. At the time of writing this project, two companies Emenite Limited and Anammco Limited and Some top executives of ITF were sampled for the survey.
In collecting the data for this research, the instrument used were the questionnaire and oral interviews. In chapter one, the topic and its need is introduced. Some hypothesis were formulated to guide in the research work. In chapter two, literature review was carried out to get necessary information from existing materials that talked about the role of industrial training on manpower development. Some of the materials is gotten from libraries, archives, journals, textbooks etc.
In chapter three, the design of the research and the methods were narrated, questionnaires were designed and distributed to respondents and collected back for analysis coupled with oral interviews. In chapter four, the returned questionnaire were analyzed, scores of the respondents were tallied, built into frequency tables and percentages scored. Hypothesis formulated were however tested and conclusion draw. Chapter five, from the analysis of the data collected, the researcher found out that, ITF, is doing a good job though it has some problems hindering it=s progress. The research ended up in concluding, summarizing and putting up a number of recommendations for further studies.

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION
- BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Some years back, the concepts of training and development of employees were vaguely understood in most of our developing countries. This was supported by Dr. Akinku in his book ANigeria Today when he said, Awe are yet to find out what it is, are the 4ms absent in our mist? All efforts to improve on our productively yield no result. Referring to this he meant, man, materials, machine and money.
With the turn of events, and increased awareness both the developed and developing countries have come to appreciate the problem of employee development and training in many organizations.
In his inaugural lecture on supervisor management training course, Layemo said that the basic problem of developing countries is not lack of natural resources but the underdevelopment of their human resources.
In a similar perspective, Eze in his book ASources of Management Motivation showed that manpower in the third world countries are undeveloped.
In support of this, a report by Ashby of (1959:58) showed that manpower resources in the third world countries, were still developing.
Following Ashbys recommendation the National
manpower Board was established in 1962. As a follow up, the manpower board in 1963 undertook a comprehensive manpower survey which brought to governments notice the following:
- The quality of management in all levels of one of the major problems of economic development.
- The need for effective co-ordination to avoid unnecessary duplication of efforts in manpower training.
In 1969, the International Labour Organization (ILO) emphasized the inadequacy of manpower development programmes in Nigeria which was necessary for her to carry out her economic development plan occasioned by the civil
war, hence the need for rehabilitations, required to develop technical and progression manpower training.
The second National Manpower Development Plan (1970 B
74) also said that there was high level of incompetence in positions in our industries and it identified the following factors as being responsible for it.
- Inadequacy of educational and professional requirements.
- Poor quality of employees
- Inadequate of experience
Irrespective of these poor quality skilled manpower, employers have neglected the need to train their workers for increased productivity and efficiency of their work. The Federal Government Create Industrial Training Fund in 1971 by decree No. 47. It=s main objectives is to promote and encourage the acquisition of industries with a view to generate a pool of indigenous trained manpower sufficient to meet the developing needs of the economy. The decree also charged the governing council of the fund, to utilized all
contributions made by the employers and subventions from government to encourage and promote the acquisition of skill in industry and commerce. To this effect, ITF became one of the bodies charged with the task of articulating of training of industrial manpower in the country hence it becomes of interest to investigate the impact of its training programmes on manpower development in the country.
