Abstract
For many years, throughout the world, people have had, and continue to have, pressing, endless and urgent needs to build conducive and human friendly communities. However, in a disaster situation, many lose lives, property, infrastructure, close friends and family members, something which causes multiple pain and suffering. Such a condition calls for a tested strategy and or approach, which can heal all the post-disaster wounds and pains brought about by deadly calamities (such as tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes). In this case, among the most appropriate strategies is vocational skills training. Based on this, in the present study the authors seek to examine the effectiveness of this strategy from an educational, managerial and technological perspective with the aim of establishing how the strategy should work to build sustainable communities in a post-disaster situation. It is concluded that communities need to possess appropriate knowledge, attitude, and skills necessarily for their survival after minor and severe disasters. This can take place in the form of vocational training and skills development. © 2017 WIETE.
