ABSTRACT: Enhancing vocational education through the use of immersive technologies is essential for providing students with interactive and engaging learning experiences. This study aimed to assess how immersive technologies improve vocational training programs, identify the specific skills and competencies developed, and measure student satisfaction with immersive technology-integrated training. A survey design was employed to collect detailed insights from participants using immersive technologies in their vocational education. The sample size included 200 students from various vocational training programs. Purposive sampling was used to select participants with exposure to immersive technologies. The case study was conducted at the Yaba College of Technology, Lagos State, Nigeria. Findings revealed that immersive technologies significantly improved students' hands-on skills, enhanced their understanding of real-time problem-solving, and provided interactive and engaging learning experiences. Students expressed high levels of satisfaction with the training, appreciating the practical and immersive approach. It was recommended that vocational training institutions expand their immersive technology curricula and continuously explore new applications to enhance educational outcomes.
