Abstract

Students' Occupational Aspiration as Manpower Development Planning Model in Ghana. The first section of the study was precisely a cross-sectional descriptive survey, that attempted to find out what kinds of occupations students wanted to undertake, what areas of the economy they wanted to work in, how their occupational aspirational can be linked to the critical manpower needs of Ghana, and what variables influenced those choices. Investigations were also conducted on the student's intent and desire to continue their education, as well as the kind and level of education they hope to obtain. The second section also looked at the effects of entrepreneurship education on students' occupational aspiration with educational choice, the perception students hold about IT, and the perception students hold about the labor market as the mediators and Gender and age also serve as the moderator. Participants consisted of 445 randomly selected from five (5) senior high schools in Ghana. One set of hand-delivered questionnaires was answered by respondents. To analyze the data, the main statistical tools employed were percentages, chi-square, and structural equation models (AMOS). According to the findings of the study, SHS students generally intend to and have a strong desire to continue their education after completing the SHS program. It appears that students' demographic traits have a direct bearing on their educational choice and occupational aspirations. This has effects on the nation's requirement for labor as well as the development of its human resources. Also, the majority of SHS 3 students are drawn to the public sector, even though different demographic factors influence both the sort of work that students want to pursue and the economic sector in which they want to work. Furthermore, SHS students are not drawn to some of Ghana's most pressing labor demands. Another significant finding was that entrepreneurship education has positive effects on students' occupational aspirations. This can be achieved by directing SHS 3 students' educational choices, expanding their understanding of how to use information technology, and directing students' perceptions of the working world as differences in gender. Implications for the development of human resources are examined in light of these findings.
