Abstract: This research evaluates the effectiveness of experiential learning in technical education in Nigeria, examining hands-on, practical learning approaches, internships, and workplace-based training programs designed to enhance student skill acquisition, knowledge application, and career readiness in technical fields. Experiential learning methods in technical education integrate theory with real-world application, providing students with opportunities to develop practical competencies and industry-relevant skills essential for workplace success. The study aims to (1) assess the impact of experiential learning on student engagement, skill development, and academic achievement in technical education programs, (2) explore perceptions and experiences of stakeholders regarding the benefits and challenges of experiential learning approaches, and (3) propose recommendations for optimizing experiential learning strategies to improve educational outcomes, industry alignment, and student employability in technical education. A survey research design is employed to gather insights from vocational students, educators, and industry mentors familiar with experiential learning methodologies and outcomes. A sample size of 300 participants will be chosen through purposive sampling to represent vocational students, internship coordinators, and technical trainers in Rivers State. Case studies will examine successful experiential learning initiatives and their outcomes in enhancing student learning experiences and industry integration. Findings indicated positive impacts of experiential learning on student skill development and career readiness, identified challenges such as resource limitations and logistical constraints, and highlighted the role of mentorship, industry partnerships, and reflective practice in optimizing experiential learning outcomes. Recommendations include expanding internship opportunities, enhancing curriculum integration, and fostering collaborative partnerships to enhance the effectiveness and scalability of experiential learning programs in technical education.
