This chapter examines post-retirement career pathways of ex-service personnel in the Nigerian military via entrepreneurship activities. One of the measures taken to assist ex-service personnel get adjusted into the civil life is the establishment of vocational training, which helps to facilitate viable entrepreneurial events. However, there are psychological issues that must be tackled in order to effectively transit into entrepreneurship. The chapter, therefore, looks at these issues to address the concept of entrepreneurship and its tendencies in the Nigerian military. The findings suggest that objectives and components of entrepreneurship education being advocated should be given to personnel early enough and throughout their military career.

The interactive model of vocational rehabilitation includes two key components: the rehabilitated individual and the vocational rehabilitation environment. The interaction of these two elements should contribute to the improvement of vocational competencies of people with disabilities[1]. Due to the fact that parents are considered as the second main contributors (just after teaching staff) of vocational training as well as life and vocational orientation of children and teenagers[2], the family environment can be treated as a significant part of the vocational rehabilitation of people with intellectual disability. Therefore, the aim of this study was to discover how parents of individuals with intellectual disability participate, if they do, in vocational training of their children.  Materials and Methods: The study was conducted among parents of special vocational schools graduates using the survey ASZ-S-R by W. Otrębski and K. Mariańczyk. The results are based on the answers of 71 parents/guardians of graduates of special vocational schools located in South-East part of Poland. Results: Nearly 88% of respondents declared that they supported the vocational preparation of their children by holding talks about various vocational activities. Circa 40% of them also provided help to their children with disabilities to find employment (e.g. by searching for job advertisements); nevertheless, over a quarter do not engage in such an activity at all. Active participation of parents of graduates with intellectual disability is necessary to prepare their children to undertake vocational activities.   [1] W.

Training Expectations

Entrepreneurship education was introduced as a formal discipline in vocational training programs in the late 1990s. This study reflects on the relevance of this education to entrepreneurship in terms of the persistence of unemployment and the underemployment of graduates. Its general objective is to analyze the influence of the satisfaction of the training expectations of the trainees on their propensity to undertake. The survey was carried out at the Yopougon Business Professional High School and the Riviera Professional Hotel School. The instrument used to capture the level of satisfaction of trainees' expectations and their entrepreneurial propensity is a questionnaire with scales of measurement with three categories of response. The results establish a growing monotonous relationship between the satisfaction of the trainees expectations and their propensity to undertake. These results also indicate that satisfying three of the expectations expressed by trainees has a significant influence on their propensity to undertake. Entrepreneurship education is an effective strategy for the social construction of vocational integration through entrepreneurship among trainees in vocational training.

The Subject

The article is devoted to the analysis of the potential for counteracting the social exclusion of people with mild intellectual disability through educational and professional activation in craftsmanship. Within the scope of the subject, the author presents the potential of education in craft workshops in Poland and, comparatively, in craft professions in Germany. The article analyses the advantages of vocational training in craftsmanship for counteracting social exclusion, but also shows institutional barriers. The thesis of the article is that, given the large scale of vocational education in crafts in Poland, this type of learning does not fully realise the potential for the professional activation of people with mild intellectual disability. To confirm this, the article presents the activities aimed at introducing a solution concerning the possibility of obtaining qualifications by persons with mild intellectual disability who are learning some craft. These postulated qualifications are described by the Polish Craft Association as a journeyman’s assistant.

Transition Studies

Few transition studies have involved training supervisors on interacting and relaying feedback to individuals with intellectual disability during vocational training. We used a multiple baseline across participants design to examine the efficacy of an adaptive check-in/check-out (CICO) intervention for increasing the rate of performance feedback statements given by a supervisor to an intern with an intellectual disability during vocational training. The CICO intervention was effective at increasing the rate of performance feedback statements given by each supervisor. We recommend research and practice focused on training supervisors to use the CICO intervention to assist in helping foster natural job supports.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute to research on individual entrepreneurial intention (IEI) by assessing the importance of entrepreneurship education to students in vocational training programmes and using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to analyse these students’ entrepreneurial intentions. The family background of the students and their exposure to entrepreneurship subject matter were included as antecedents of TPB components and IEI. Design/methodology/approach To test the research model, the primary data were collected with questionnaires distributed to students in their last year of vocational training programmes with and without entrepreneurship coursework, in a region of Northern Portugal. The data were analysed using structural equation modelling. Findings The results show that TPB dimensions substantially contribute to explaining students’ IEI. However, their family background makes only a minor contribution, and exposure to entrepreneurship education has no influence on IEI. Research limitations/implications Given these results, the authors propose a broader discussion is needed of the importance of introducing business classes into the curricula of vocational training programmes. Originality/value This research’s results show that IEI models need to assign greater importance to variables related to previous exposure to entrepreneurial experiences through direct family members. The findings contribute to a fuller understanding of IEI and the factors that precede the formation of this intention among students in training programmes.
