The study focused on Assessment of workskill improvement needs of graduate of auto-electricity/electronics work in motor vehicle mechanic work in Enugu states of Nigeria. Four research questions guided the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population for the study was hundred and ninety seven (197). The entire population constituted the sample because of the size of the population. A Ninety nine (99) item structured questionnaire was developed from the literature and used for data collection. Three experts validated the instrument. Cronbach alpha reliability method was used to determine the internal consistency of the instrument. A reliability coefficient of 0.88 was obtained. The data were analyzed using weighted mean and improvement needed index to determine the improvement needed by graduate of auto-electricity/electronics in motor vehicle mechanic work. The difference between the needed mean and performance mean i.e. (XN- XP) constituted the need gap for which improvement is needed by graduate of auto-electricity/electronics. It was found out from the study that graduate of auto-electricity/electronics in motor vehicle mechanic work needed improvement in seventy eight (78) out of ninety nine (99) identified items. Based on the findings from the study, appropriate recommendations were made.
