Inadequate resources affect the effectiveness of any training programme and its output. Towards school-industry linkage for effective resource mobilization for the implementation of Auto mechanics work trades Technical Colleges became imperative. Two research questions and hypotheses guided the study; descriptively designed to find out the solution. 22 Admin Staff and 78 Technical Teachers formed the population from 11 Government Technical Colleges (GTC). The instrument was structured questionnaire based on the objectives of the study in Likert scale. It was face-validated by four experts. Cronbach Alpha reliability method was used to establish the internal consistency of the instrument and it yielded the overall reliability coefficients of 0.82. SPSS version was used to get Mean and standard deviation used to answer the research questions that guided the study and hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance. The findings showed among others that PPP could mobilize resources for the implementation of Auto-mechanic trades. The Philanthropists could mobilize resources for the implementation of Auto-mechanic trades. Using ANOVA, Hypotheses showed that the opinions of Administrators and Technical Teachers differ significantly (p<0.05) on various ways Public Private Partnership and Government Technical Colleges could mobilize resources for implementation of Auto-mechanic trades and there is no significant difference (p>0.05) in the opinions of Administrators and Technical Teachers on various ways by which Philanthropy and GTC, could mobilize resources for the implementation of Auto-mechanic work trades. It was recommended among others that school management should adopt the various ways of resource mobilization in order to effectively implement her programmes.
