This study investigates innovative assessment methods and educational strategies that nurture creative thinking and entrepreneurial skills in vocational education. The objectives were: to analyze current practices and challenges in assessing creativity and innovation in vocational programs, to explore effective assessment tools and methodologies, and to propose recommendations for integrating creative assessment practices into vocational curricula. A survey design was employed to collect comprehensive data from vocational educators, students, and innovation experts, providing insights into assessment practices and their impact on student creativity. A sample size of 250 respondents was selected using a purposive sampling technique to include participants with experience in assessing and promoting creativity in vocational education. The case study focused on the Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, Kwara State. Findings indicated diverse approaches to assessing creativity and innovation, with challenges in aligning assessment methods with vocational learning outcomes.
