AbstractThe study focused on the assessment of the attitudinal competencies possessed and demonstrated
by technical college Auto-Mechanics craftsmen employed in tertiary institutions in Anambra State,
Nigeria. One research question and one hypothesis were used in the study which was carried out
in all the accredited tertiary institutions in Anambra State. Survey research design was used due to
its relevance in descriptive study, audience research and programme monitoring. The population
of the study was made of 110 heads of academic and non-academic departments who served as
supervisors of the products in their places of work. The population of 110 was considered
manageable and no sample. Competency questionnaire validated by three experts from University
of Nigeria Nsukka was used for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using mean and
standard deviation while the null hypothesis was tested using t-test statistics at 0.05 level of
significance. The study revealed that five out of the eight attitudinal competency traits studied
were possessed and demonstrated by the products. Based on the findings it was recommended that
government and stake holders should improve on provision of appropriate resources inputs to
encourage and sustain the programme among others.
