The descriptive survey research design was used for the study, the population of the study were 50 made up of 17 Automobile technology teachers and 33 Automobile technology industrial supervisors. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of work-based skills for enhancing school-to-work transition of Automobile Technology graduates of technical colleges in northern Nigeria. Two research questions were developed inline with the purpose of the study. 25 structured questionnaire items were developed and used for the study, while 3 experts were engaged to face validate the instrument. The instrument was pilot tested on 4 respondents who are not part of the population for the study and the reliability coefficient of the entire instrument was 0.89. Based on the findings of the study, the following recommendations were made: Teachers should embark on frequent supervision of students on SIWES and other cooperative education programmes to ensure that these students are given the appropriate work-based skills needed for effective school-to-work transition and Parents, community and society at large should assist in enhancing work-based skills for smooth school-to-work transition of Automobile technology students of technical colleges by allowing them to demonstrate what they have learnt in the classroom to real life situation.
