Abstract

The researchers were of the belief that the level of skill acquisition among Office Technology and Management students has been on the decrease over the years. This paper therefore looked into how to enhance the level of skills acquired by Office Technology and Management Students in Nigeria Polytechnics to enable them to contribute to their expected quota to the realization of national development and transformation through job efficiency. The survey design was used for the research and the main instrument used for data collection was questionnaire with the support of interviews and personal observations. Relevant literature was also reviewed. It was discovered that except for shorthand which has been de-emphasized because of the trend in ICT, the present curriculum should normally enable the OTM students to acquire higher level of skills and so contribute significantly to national development. This paper therefore concluded that the decline in skills acquired by the students is not curriculum-based but learners-based. The researchers finally recommended among others, that government should allow Polytechnics in the country to conduct admission interview in addition to JAMB conducted UTME to determine applicants’ ability to cope with the mastery of the skills involved in Office Technology and Management Training.
