Abstract: The study centered on stemming the tide of political violence among youths and women in rural areas of Ebonyi State through work force development. It sought to enlighten youths and women, train them on saleable skills and carry out a follow-up of the youths and women for sustainability projects. The study focused on solar energy installation and maintenance, bead making/wiring, insecticide, rodenticide and pesticide production, cosmetology (hair products, detergents, perfumes, among others), car wash production, liquid soap production. The area for the study is Ikwo and Ezza South in Ebonyi State. 100 participants were chosen using stratified random sampling techniques to ensure that the communities were adequately represented. Data were collected using test-retest method and analyzed using SPSS version 20. The findings of this study revealed that participants had initial skills and knowledge between 1.04 and 1.79 in the areas covered in the training. However, after the training, the participants’ skills and knowledge increased to a level between 3.76 and 4.32. The researchers recommended that; more of this training should be carried out in other Local Government Areas of Ebonyi state, more skill areas of technology and vocational education should be included in future trainings among others.
