The purpose of this study is to explore repositioning Technical and Vocational Education and Training and Training (TVET) in Nigeria. The research paradigm of the present study is hinged on position manuscript approach which relied upon secondary data collection method designed to gather TVET information from journals, magazines, encyclopaedia, and other articles repositories within the scope of 10 years (2010-2020). The problem that prompted the conduct of this study is youths’ restlessness, unemployment, poor linkages of TVET institutions with relevant economic sectors as well as myriad challenges faced by Technical and Vocational Education and Training practitioners. These problems resulted in economic recession, rising crime and decline of generic societal values. However, progress indices discovered in the present study revealed that investments in specialized areas of Technical and Vocational Education and Training is one of the innovative ways of reviving/or repositioning the sector. For instance, investment in Agriculture, Home Economics, Fine and Applied Arts, Electrical and Electronics, Mechatronics, Mobile Phone Technology, among others. Among the recommendations advanced is that repositioning Technical and Vocational Education and Training for sustainable national development should not be left for the government alone, private organisations should also come in by way of social corporate responsibilities in the TVET sector.
