The following Handbook is a practical guide for managers of National Technical Colleges and Community Technical Colleges in Malawi, two of the main providers of formal TEVET for secondary level Malawians. The Handbook for Technical Colleges and the Handbook for Community Skills Development Centres in Malawi, developed as part of same package, are the main outputs of a capacity-building programme that targeted TEVET institution managers, a component of the STEP supported by UNESCO-UNEVOC and implemented in Mponela in August 2018.

Based on resources and materials used during the training programme, the following Handbook is an easy-to-read practical reference for dealing with the day-to-day activities involved in managing a technical college.
