Survey research design was used for the study. The population for the study was 120 brick/block-laying and concreting teachers in technical colleges. Structure questionnaire was used as instruments for data collection. Two research questions and two null hypotheses were formulated. Cronbach alpha method was used for the reliability of the instrument which yielded a coefficient of 0.92. Mean was used to analyze the data for answering research questions while t- test was used to test the hypotheses of no significant difference at 0.05 levels of significances. Recommendation: The skills identified in this study should be integrated into the curriculum of Block laying, Bricklaying and Concreting for training students, Training equipment, machines and books should be donated to schools offering Block laying, Bricklaying and Concreting by government and employers of labour in order to teach skills to students and Workshop and seminars should be organized for Block laying, Bricklaying and Concreting teachers on current technologies/issues in Block laying, Bricklaying and Concreting from time to time.
