Abstract

This study examines the impact of incorporating vocational and skill acquisition into the formal education system at Nigeria Polytechnic, given its widespread trend towards socio-economic development. The study employs a descriptive qualitative research design, conducting face-to-face interviews with key and relevant study participants from federal, state-owned, and privately-owned polytechnics in Ogun, Ondo, and Osun State of Nigeria. The study revealed that establishing an educational framework emphasising practical skills and entrepreneurship would serve as a strategic solution to youth unemployment, reduce poverty rates, and foster economic growth
