dc.description.abstract	Generally speaking, the need for ICT inclination in all aspect of human endeavor today is not an optional; the fact that ICT plays a vital role in teaching and learning process, its backwardness remains a clear setback to global education. The success of technical education defend largely on how teachers are prepared to heavily infuse technologies in teaching and learning process so as to impart to the learners the required skills and training. This study meant to ascertain the level of training needs of information and communication technology (ICT) for teachers of technical education in Yobe state, Nigeria. Specifically, the study meant to find out the existing level of ICT knowledge and skills acquired by technical education teachers, their deficiencies with respect to ICT and suggest some possible strategies for enhancing their ICT skills training in the study area. The study was a survey research. A sample of 43 randomly selected teachers and administrators were used as respondents for the data collection chosen from three purposively sampled technical colleges based on the zones constituting the study area. The data collected using structured questionnaire designed base on five point scale was analyzed and interpreted using statement-wise, category percentage, weighted average and Chi square test using statistical package for social sciences SPSS version 20 software. The findings of this study revealed that the existing level of ICT knowledge and skills acquired by the technical education teachers in the study area is insufficient, the deficiencies in ICT knowledge and skills is high and the possible strategies for enhancing ICT skills training is achieved through the followings: organization of workshops and conferences, establishment of standard computer laboratories and imposing ICT skills as an entry requirement for teachers.	en_US
