This study is centered on the implementation of work integrated learning by Nigerian universities in partnership with industries. Descriptive survey method was adopted for the study and 45-item structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 117 TVET lecturers in universities that offer TVET courses in South-Eastern Nigeria. The results of the study showed that work integrated learning is implemented to low extent by the universities, and the implementation is constrained by many factors such as poor teacher quality, lack of policy and curriculum provisions for work integrated learning experiences and activities. Many strategies that can enhance the implementation of TVET-based work integrated learning by Nigeria universities were also identified. Based on the findings, it was recommended that government, TVET institutions and other stakeholders should give more support and encouragement for effective implementation of work integrated learning by universities in Nigeria in partnership with industries.
