Hunger, disease, and unemployment have been the bane of many developing nations of Africa. One major challenge facing governments of these nations is how to provide jobs for functional living. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is recognized as a panacea to unemployment. TVET trains individuals to acquire skills and knowledge in various occupations. The training, however, must engender in those individuals the will to propose and solve problems related to human needs and development. The research aims to shed light on the role of TVET on the living. The qualitative approach was used for analyses. In this regard, while educational institutions, especially at the tertiary level, select, train, and develop their students, the government and the private sector must make a concerted effort to employ the people. The training provided by TVET should equip individuals to be gainfully employed and enable them to become employers of labour, contributing to the economic development of a nation. TVET graduates should be able to set up small and medium-scale enterprises in various occupations. Factors that impede graduates of the TVET system from progressing on the career lane are poor planning, socio-cultural factors, lack of credit facilities, availability, and cost of spare parts. To deal with these problems, the provision of loan facilities increased funding, and workshops and seminars have been advocated.
