The use of Artificial Intelligence technology in education has

become an increasingly popular topic in recent years. AI offers a

lot of potential to enhance students' learning experiences, assist

teachers in delivering more effective instruction, and even identify

learning issues that may go unnoticed by humans. “Technical

education is the kind of training that concerns a particular aspect

of science, occupation or profession which have both theoretical

and practical instructions that are given to those who are going to

be employed in commerce and industry using tools and machinery

for the operation, production, preservation and distribution of

goods and services.” Technical education has suffered neglect for

many years. This could be the main reason why Africa is still

backward technologically. The main objective of this research is

to identify and analyze how Artificial Intelligence can be used to

enhance the quality of learning, skill development, and the

relevance of technical education programs. The primary

contribution of this research is to provide a deeper understanding

of the role of Artificial Intelligence in technical education and to

provide a framework that can be used as a guide in implementing

Artificial Intelligence in this context. It is expected that this

research will assist educators and decision-makers in effectively

harnessing Artificial Intelligence to improve learning, skills, and

the preparation of vocational students for the ever-evolving

workforce.
