Seven statements of objectives were derived for the study, and respondents were required to score each of the seven statements between "1" and "7" in their order of importance and representative of the objectives. The instrument was administered to 150 master craft trainers and 750 apprentices. Four out of the seven statements were rated the most important and most representative of the objectives of the roadside mechanic apprenticeship program in mid-western Nigeria--(a) to acquire technical skills, (b) to provide pre-employment opportunity for youths, (c) to instil discipline among youths and (d) to provide opportunity for interpersonal relationships.
