Abstract: This study explores strategies for promoting industry partnerships in vocational schools in Nigeria, examining collaborative initiatives between educational institutions and industry stakeholders to enhance curriculum relevance, student employability, and industry engagement. Industry partnerships play a crucial role in bridging the gap between education and workforce needs, providing students with industry-relevant skills and experiential learning opportunities essential for career readiness. The research aims to (1) analyze current practices and challenges in fostering industry partnerships within vocational education, (2) assess effective strategies and models for establishing and sustaining industry collaborations, and (3) propose recommendations for optimizing industry partnership frameworks to maximize educational outcomes and workforce integration. A survey research design is employed to gather insights from vocational educators, industry leaders, and partnership coordinators involved in collaborative initiatives. A sample size of 400 participants will be chosen through purposive sampling to represent vocational school administrators, industry representatives, and partnership facilitators in Oyo State. Case studies will examine successful industry partnership programs and their impact on student skill development and industry alignment. Findings indicated varying levels of partnership engagement and effectiveness, identified challenges such as resource constraints and industry participation barriers, and highlighted the role of mutual benefit, clear objectives, and sustained communication in fostering successful industry collaborations. Recommendations include enhancing partnership transparency, establishing formal agreements, and integrating industry input into curriculum development to ensure vocational programs meet industry standards and enhance student employability.
