Tracer study can provide relevant and reliable feedback on an institutions' performance in delivering quality instruction and services to its students. This cross sectional survey research of descriptive type assessed the alumni current employment status and graduates retrospective assessment of the study resources and conditions. It also investigated the relevance of knowledge and skills acquired while in school to their employment and general satisfaction with some characteristics of their job. A total of 109 technical education (TE) graduates who graduated between 2011 and 2015 were involved in the study. A modified survey questionnaire served as the main tools for data gathering. The data collected was treated using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed clearly the picture of male dominance over female in terms of students' enrolment into TE Department. The findings revealed that the academic programme of TE Department is quite relevant to graduates current employment. Consequently, it was recommended among others that the college authority should try to improve the facilities in line with the explosion in number of students being admitted. Government should try as much as possible to create more jobs to enhance the employment opportunities of more graduates to reduce graduates' unemployment. The study therefore concludes that the technical education programme offered by the college is good, adequate and relevant to the needs of the students.
