Abstract
The rising level of unemployment among youth is one of the major problems facing the Nigerian economy today. This has resulted into increased social vices such as kidnapping, banditry, armed robbery, internet fraud and other socially immoral behavior, particularly among the youth in the country. Many studies have argued that technical and vocational education and training is a solution to the problem of unemployment, especially among the youth. This study, therefore, seeks to examine the role of technical, vocational education and training (TVET) in reducing the rising trend of unemployment in Nigeria. The study adopted Descriptive statistics to analyze data obtained via survey of 120 respondents drawn from the sample population of the study area. The findings from the study revealed that technical and vocational education and training is a key to reducing the upward trend of unemployment in Nigeria. The study recommended that the Federal government should give priority to technical schools such as the polytechnic and provide them with adequate tools needed to train youth with vocational skills.
