Abstract

In a global knowledge driven economy, novel ideas, creativity, problem solving skills, communication skills, critical thinking, innovations and modern technologies are the central focus. TVET private sector partnership, which has the capability of putting Nigeria on the right part of development, has been inadequately harnessed. This paper therefore, considered the concept and goals of “Technical Vocational Education and Training” and Technical Vocational Institutions in Nigeria. Explanation of the concept of private sector and some recent exemplary TVET private sector partnerships were given. The concept of economic development and its indices as well as the need for TVET-private sector partnerships were discussed. How, well planned partnerships between TVET and private sector in Nigeria could translate into economic development formed the conclusion of this paper.
