1.1 Background of the Study
Television has long been a critical medium for disseminating information and creating awareness about developmental initiatives, including vocational training programs. In Ankpa Local Government Area, Kogi State, television serves as a platform to promote skill acquisition and entrepreneurship, which are vital for addressing unemployment and fostering economic growth.

This study examines how television promotes vocational training programs in Ankpa LGA, focusing on its effectiveness and the challenges involved.
