Abstract
The paper discussed the implementation of Industrial Technology Education policies in Nigeria for meeting the contemporary labour market demands in this technological age. It examined the concepts of policy, education policy, technical or Industrial Technology Education, as well as technical or Industrial Technology Education policies in Nigeria. It further examined the implementation of technical or Industrial Technology Education policies and challenges against effective implementation of technical or Industrial Technology Education policy in Nigeria. The authors conclude that the various technical or Industrial Technology Education policies in Nigeria have been well formulated to meet contemporary labour market demands in this technological age but the problem lies largely with the implementation. The authors recommended, among others, that senior academics in the Industrial Technology Education sub-sector should be more actively involved in Industrial Technology Education policy making and implementation in Nigeria. Also, the federal and state ministries of education should take a holistic approach to improve their Industrial Technology Education policy implementation efforts.
