The Industrial Technology syllabuses aim at providing technical training in the use of both traditional and new materials, systems and processes related to industry.

Each syllabus organised as a Unit provides a relevant course of study for secondary school students aspiring to careers related to the Electrical and Electronic, Mechanical Engineering or Building Technology area, and in so doing responds to the need to provide persons with entry level skills for the various fields.

The syllabus aims to:

• help students acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for employment at entry level and as prerequisites for further education and training in the woods and associated industries.
• help students acquire practical experiences that will enable them to develop skills in the use of tools, materials and processes associated with the wood industry.
• help students develop skills in planning and designing through appropriate problem-solving activities.
• develop an awareness among students of the career opportunities available in the woods and associated fields.
• help students adopt good safety, health and environmental practices.
• provide students with the fundamentals of the computer and its application as it relates to the Industrial Technology programme.
