A<br>qualitative approach with phenomenological design was used, with six judges<br>and department heads from ICT, Wood science, and Building technology<br>participating. The study found that organizing skills competition events is<br>crucial for TVET image building and skill cultivation, However, several<br>factors are essential for future success, including arranging necessary<br>equipment, identifying skills to be tested, establishing rules, securing a venue,<br>involving stakeholders, preparing mock competitions, designing evaluation<br>criteria, appointing qualified judges, conducting fair judging, and recognizing<br>and awarding winners.</p> Dr. Taye Alamrew Misikir Solomon Moti Kenise Solomon Getahun Copyright (c) 2024 Ethiopian Journal of Technical and Vocational Education and Training https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-11-13 2024-11-13 4 1
