The population for this study was 174. However, as it is customary with a qualitative study, a total of 10 final year undergraduate technical education students drawn from the five Universities offering technical education programme participated in the study. Interview was used as instrument for data collection. Face-to-face, phone calls, whatsapp were the tools used for the interview. Conversational analysis was used in analyzing the data.
