| description | The study aimed at determining self-management challenges that inhibit 21st-century skills upgrade of women in professional skilled technical occupations. The study was a descriptive survey guided by two research questions and two hypotheses. The instrument used for data collection was a 12 items researcher developed structured questionnaire of a 5-point Likert scale which was validated by three experts, one from the department of measurement and evaluation and two from the Technology and Vocational Education department, all from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. The reliability was established using the split half method and the coefficient of 0.9 was determined using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. SPSS 0.9 was used in analyzing the data. The research question was answered using mean and standard deviation while t-test analysis was employed to test the hypothesis at a 0.05 level of significance. Among others, the findings of the study revealed ways in which women can implement self-management skills for skills upgrade in the 21st-century workplace including; accepting failure as a corrective measure, seeing everyone as equal, practicing patience and perseverance, and thinking before a speech. It was however recommended among others that stakeholders should prioritize the improvement of girls' access to basic education; and strive to meet the training needs of women re-entering the labour market and of older women who have not had equal access to opportunities for lifelong learning. |
