| Sumario: | The demands for skills, especially modern work-related, entrepreneurial and self-reliant skills are necessary in this present twenty-first century. It is clear that a single discipline may not impart comprehensive and required skills, and provide the competencies needed by graduates to remain relevant. There can be no better collaboration than STEM Education and Technical Vocational Education and Training, considering the level at which their contents, mode of delivery and job descriptions relate. The author’s opinion is that Nigeria’s chronic rate of unemployment among youths can be addressed through right-skilling and up-skilling. Collaboration of these two broad disciplines should urgently be experimented for skill development to reposition youths to fit into the demands of the present era. |
