The study was carried out to investigate perceived factors influencing the choice of career among Vocational and Technical Education Students in Colleges of Education in Oyo State. In order to achieve this, four specific purposes and four research questions were raised and four null hypotheses were tested for the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was 3,557 students in Government owned Colleges of Education. A proportionate stratified sampling procedure was adopted in selecting the sample of 239. A structured questionnaire titled Perceived Factors and Choice of Career Questionnaire (PFCCQ) was used for data collection. In the test of Reliability, a reliability coefficient of 0.75 was obtained using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The demographic variables of the respondents were analysed using frequency and percentage. The data collected for the research questions were analysed using mean and standard Deviation. Four Null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using independent t-test. The findings of the study revealed among others that parents, peer, gender and environmental factors had positive influence on the career choice of Vocational and Technical Education Students in Colleges of Education in Oyo State. The four Null hypotheses were rejected. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that family, parental qualification, advice and supports, peer opinion, a stable and secured future, an attractive working condition, socio-economic environment, and gender factors play significant roles in influencing Students’ career choice. It was therefore recommended among others that significant career influencers such as friends, parents, members of the community and media personnel need to be equipped with correct career information about Vocational and Technical Education for them to guide students appropriately.
