<div><p><em>Career choice has always been a very challenging venture for most students in their transition from secondary school to higher learning institutions in most countries. Many factors come to play including self-motivation, influence by peers, parents and even performance in high school examinations. In Kenya, enrolment in market driven courses like engineering and hospitality has remained below capacity despite efforts by the Kenya government to boost it. The main objective of this study was to determine the factors that influenced trainees in their career choice in TVET institutions in North Rift of Kenya with the aim of assisting TVET institutions gain strategies to address skewness witnessed in enrolment in market driven courses. Survey research design was adopted for the study. The population for the study constituted of students and TVET providers in the TVET institutions in North Rift Kenya. Stratified random sampling technique was used to group students into the respective courses undertaken in the TVET institutions and simple random sampling technique was applied to select 316 respondents proportionately from the different strata. Questionnaires were the main research instruments used in the collection of data. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics in SPSS and results presented in tabular and graphical forms. The research findings showed that student’s career choice was influenced by seven main factors. Among the recommendations was that secondary schools should come up with a career sensitization programme each year to help learners be better informed on available careers and current trends in the job market.</em></p></div>

The aim of this study is to identify the effect of service quality which covers services system and procedure, personnel skill and ability, and service facilities and infrastructure on the satisfaction of motor vehicle taxpayers. This research adopts the associative research design as research guidelines. Probability sampling with simple random sampling technique were used in distributing 100 copies of questionnaire provided to taxpayers who use the service of Mataram Drive Thru. 100 copies of distributed questionnaire were entirely completed and returned to the researcher. Pearson correlation product moment   were given to 100 respondents / taxpayer motorists who use services Mataram Drive Thru, 100 copies of questionnaires distributed, fully completed and returned to the researcher. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to analyze the data obtained from the respondents. The research findings indicate that  systems and procedures of services, personil skills and ability, and service facilities and infrastructure have significant effect on the level of customers satisfaction 0,05 (2-sided). Therefore, it can be concluded that those three variables significantly affect the customers satisfaction. Further, service facilities and infrastructure was on the top rank, personil skill and abilitywas on the second, and systems and procedures was on the third.

This study aimed at examining determinants of self-employment intentions among students in Tanzania higher learning institutions. The study was guided by the theory of planned behavior which postulates that an intention is influenced by the attitude toward behavior, the subjective norms of the behavior, and the individual’s control of the behavior. The study used Mzumbe University as a case study from which 400 respondents were drawn by using a simple random sampling technique. A standard questionnaire was used to collect data and a study attained a response rate of 82%. Data analysis involved multiple linear regression analysis. The study found that gender (β=-.028, p=.751) and academic performance (β=.016, p=.671) had no significant relationship with self-employment intentions of students while entrepreneurship education (β=.303, p=.000) and having parents who are self-employed (β=.211, p=.031) had significant relationship with self-employment intentions. The study recommends higher learning institutions to have curriculums that help students to acquire entrepreneurship education sufficiently. Moreover, students are advised to have personal initiatives in looking for entrepreneurship knowledge and skills. Parents are also recommended to establish businesses as their main or alternative sources of income in order to influence entrepreneurial tendencies in the current and coming generations as a solution towards unemployment problem.

The aim of this research is; 1) investigating the level of online learning satisfaction among students during COVID 19; 2) analyzing the influence of differences in gender, years of study, major in determining online learning satisfaction among students during COVID 19; 3) to analyze the relationship between online learning satisfaction and student academic achievement during COVID 19. The population was 656 students at STKIP Singkawang, and then a sample of 357 students (87 males and 270 females) was taken using a simple random sampling technique. The instrument in this study was adapted from Aman's Satisfaction instrument, which was then used to collect research data. Data analysis using SPSS with descriptive statistical techniques, MANOVA, and correlation. The results showed that online learning satisfaction was at a high level, meaning that students were satisfied with the online learning that had been implemented. The major differences have a significant effect on determining online learning satisfaction. Intercorrelation shows that there is a significant relationship on each indicator of online learning satisfaction with academic achievement, meaning that the higher the satisfaction felt by students in online learning, the student's academic achievement will increase.
