Abstract
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) has proven to be one of the most effective human resource development strategies for preparing the nation's technical workforce for rapid industrialization and national growth. This served as the basis for the researcher's examination of the elements influencing the decline in the proportion of craft practice skills in technical and vocational institutions. The study examined the existing environment in which the TVET system in the country operates, with an emphasis on how collaboration between practical skill exhibition and workshop process education may promote skill acquisition and training. Questionnaires and interviews were selected as the two main data collection strategies for this project. Interviews with the leaders of the selected technical and vocational institutions were conducted, and questionnaires were given to both students and instructors. The majority of technical institutes, according to the survey, lack suitable facilities, which has an effect on the caliber of teaching offered there. There is not enough time set aside for workshop practice. Additionally, there is insufficient oversight and monitoring of the institutes. There is no requirement for students to have an industrial attachment, and colleges do not organise field trips for students to visit businesses. It might be difficult for TVET graduates to find jobs after graduation, despite the fact that the curriculum being used is not industry-driven. According to the study, technical institutions' curricula are not created to meet the needs of the domestic and international labour markets. The study also revealed that it is challenging for graduates of technical institutes to get employment following graduation. The majority of graduates also struggle to deal with the practical skills that employers expect of them in the workplace.
