abstract: 'The acquisition of vocational training skills and entrepreneurial
know-how is acknowledged as an added advantage and a safety net to
navigate poverty, especially in dwindling economic recession time and
massive unemployment. This study examined the factors influencing the
usefulness and perceived realization of skills development/empowerment
to encourage more women''s involvement in small scale businesses and
promote its effect on poverty alleviation in households across Nigeria.
Data collection involved a structured questionnaire and in-depth
interviews conducted post-the vocational skill/empowerment training. The
training was organized among Campus Keepers in a private university in
Ogun State, Nigeria. Forty Campus Keepers were selected using the
systematic sampling technique from a total population of 224, and 37 of
the 40 selected voluntarily participated in this study. The Campus
Keepers were women with low socioeconomic status who worked as cleaners
on the university campus. Five of the Campus Keepers were purposively
selected as key informants for the study. Results showed that
respondents who had earlier knowledge and vocational skills training
reported that it leads to self-employment. This view was higher for
respondents who had more people in their household than those with fewer
people (OR = 22.7 {[}CI= .56, 921.31]). The perception that the training
can lead to additional income was lower for respondents who reported
that either they or their spouses were sole breadwinners in their
household than for those who reported that both/others/none were
breadwinners (OR = .05 {[}CI=0, 1.2]). The odds that the skills
development/empowerment training will result in perceived improved
business was higher for respondents who gained more
knowledge/information from the training than those who did not (OR=29.19
{[}CI = 1.1, 777.48]). Findings from the qualitative study suggest that
key informants who participated in past training were yet to establish a
profitable business of their dream fully. Governmental policy and
program intervention that incorporates these findings will lead to
increased participation of the target population in similar training in
the future, leading to poverty alleviation towards achieving the SDGs
for Nigeria. (Afr J Reprod Health 2021; 25{[}5s]: 170-186).'
