Abstract
ABSTRACT A certain period of work experience is required in most programmes of teacher preparation before individuals are certified as vocational teachers. Students who do not meet this requirement prior to enrolling in degree programmes do so before graduation through a cooperative work experience programme. For such students, earning an income while meeting a college requirement is an incentive for active participation. However, given Nigeria's present economic crisis, most employers are unwilling to provide paid work experience to students. This study investigated the outcomes of an unpaid work experience programme. The results showed that positive outcomes were achievable, in spite of the absence of income and the problems associated with it. Implications for more effective work experience programmes are discussed.
