Abstract
This research was conducted on impact of Katsina Youth Craft Centre (KYCC) on sustainability of smallscale enterprises in Katsina State. Based on the study, three specific objectives were targeted, three research questions were raised, and three null hypotheses were also formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. A survey design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was 10,000 graduates (2015-2019) from Katsina Youth Craft Centre. Based on the nature of the graduates’ population, 371 graduates were selected and served as sample size of the study. Four points rating scale structured questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer research questions, while analysis of variance was used to answer the null hypotheses. The findings of the study among others revealed that skills development training provided by the KYCC had a significant impact on the sustainability of small-scale enterprises among graduates of 3, 6, 9- and 12-month course durations in the study area, based on the evidence from the study. Hence, it was concluded that KYCC had impact on the sustainability on small-scale enterprises in Katsina State. The researcher recommends among others that, in addition to vocational skills training courses taught, accounting and marketing courses should be introduced at the center.
