Inadequate resources affect the effectiveness of any training programme and its output.

Towards school-industry linkage for effective resource mobilization for the implementation of

Auto mechanics work trades Technical Colleges became imperative. Two research questions

and hypotheses guided the study; descriptively designed to find out the solution. 22 Admin Staff

and 78 Technical Teachers formed the population from 11 Government Technical Colleges

(GTC). The instrument was structured questionnaire based on the objectives of the study in

Likert scale. It was face-validated by four experts. Cronbach Alpha reliability method was used

to establish the internal consistency of the instrument and it yielded the overall reliability

coefficients of 0.82. SPSS version was used to get Mean and standard deviation used to answer

the research questions that guided the study and hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance.

The findings showed among others that PPP could mobilize resources for the implementation of

Auto-mechanic trades. The Philanthropists could mobilize resources for the implementation of

Auto-mechanic trades. Using ANOVA, Hypotheses showed that the opinions of Administrators

and Technical Teachers differ significantly (p<0.05) on various ways Public Private

Partnership and Government Technical Colleges could mobilize resources for implementation

of Auto-mechanic trades and there is no significant difference (p>0.05) in the opinions of

Administrators and Technical Teachers on various ways by which Philanthropy and GTC,

could mobilize resources for the implementation of Auto-mechanic work trades. It was

recommended among others that school management should adopt the various ways of resource

mobilization in order to effectively implement her programmes
