This has led to the establishment of technical and vocational schools in order to empower individuals for self-employment and industrial purposes. However, TVE system in Nigeria does not seem to achieve its national goals and objectives as the policy does not match with the curriculum implementation processes towards self-employment and national development. The study utilized qualitative approach using interview and observation in order to assess the implementation of technical and vocational education in Kano State-Nigeria. The findings of the study suggest various ways in which the government could effectively address the issue for better equipped graduates in the country.
