Resum

The study focused on designing a plan for integrating trade skill acquisition into secondary school education in Oyo North Senatorial District, Oyo State, Nigeria for a medium-term of five years, that is the years between 2023 and 2027. The specific objectives were to enumerate the available trade skills in the secondary school environment that are in consonance with the prevailing employment skills in the study area; identify the relevant employment skills needed to be integrated into the curriculum of secondary school education, and determine the cost of integrating the required number of relevant employment skills into the curriculum. These were with a view to providing information on how to improve employment opportunities in Oyo North Senatorial District, Oyo State, Nigeria. The study employed a descriptive survey research design. Data were obtained, with the use of questionnaires. Enrolments for 2023 to 2027 were projected, using the projection formula as provided by the International Institute of Educational Planning (IIEP). The study revealed that Ofi clothes making (that is, traditional dresses), shea butter production and packaging, locust beans production and packaging, dressmaking and tailoring, foodstuff processing and packaging, and aluminum pot making should be integrated into the curriculum. The expected budget for the integration of these trade subjects for the base year is 163,370,992.00 naira.
