This study assessed the inclusion of girls in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs in medium-sized settlements like Ilaro in Nigeria. The study identified areas where TVET activities are taking place, investigate the level of female participation, and explore reasons behind their underrepresentation. It equally proposed sustainable solutions to enhance girls' inclusion in TVET programs. These aims were achieved through identification of schools offering TVET programs in Ilaro; evaluation of the extent of the girl-child inclusion in TVET programs; investigating rationales behind the low participation of girls in TVET programs, and suggestion of measures that would culminate in the enhancement of female inclusion in TVET programs. The study employed the snowball technique to engage 21 stakeholders, including principals and technology-based subjects’ teachers from seven government-owned schools. Research revealed that four key obstacles mostly prevent female students from accessing TVET programs in the study area: societal norms, delivery-related challenges, policy and governmental limitations, and geographical constraints peculiar to border regions. It, however, recommends orienting and enlightening parents, especially those from low-income backgrounds, about the importance of gender equality and the potential of TVET programs to empower girls.
