Curbing youth unemployment for achieving sustainable development through global partnership in TVET

The paper examined curbing youth unemployment for achieving sustainable development through global partnership in [technical and vocational education and training] TVET. At the beginning of industrialization in Nigeria as a mono economy, technology was applied to oil exploration and production. Over the years, majority of the workforce were white men and few blacks in the oil sector. These few blacks formed a larger group of under-employment with relatively low income. This resulted into accumulation of surplus workers in agriculture. Unemployment became a problem in Nigeria with its consequences and effects on the youths. It is based on these issues of crime, violence, kidnapping, drug addiction, raping, unproductive employees, mental and psychological problems that the writer deems it necessary to address the topic under the following sub-headings: theoretical framework, unemployment impact on Nigeria, main causes of unemployment in Nigeria, consequences of unemployment in Nigeria, trades in technical education that could curb unemployment, sustainable development, partnership with technical and vocational education and training, TVET for self-employment and curbing youth unemployment, promoting technical education curriculum for achieving sustainable development. At this point it was recommended among others that unemployment could be curbed with training the youths with technical education skills for self-reliant in Nigeria.
