Skill is very important in the life of every human being. The reason why many technicians earns more than some university graduates is because the technicians acquire more practical skills than the theories unlike the graduates who were fed with theoretical experiences while in the universities. Skill acquisition is the ability to be trained on a particular task or function and become expert in it. It is a pity that there is huge parading of unemployment in many part of the world today especially in Nigeria. This is giving the youths of today a sleepless night. It is one of the causes of rapid growth in crime in many part of the world.
Today, there are many unemployed graduates in the country. This is partly as a result of our long system of education that is more of grammar and not much of practical learning. It is evident that the highest number of unemployed is found in the African continent. The truth remains that the major causes of the unemployment among these vibrant youth is lack of skills to back up what they learnt from their institution of learning. When these graduates were skill in school, they did not bother to learn at least one single skill that is related to their various field of study. The important of skill acquisition cannot be overemphasized. This importance include; self-employed, diverse job opportunities, employment generation, effective function and crime reduction.
