Thematic analysis was used for this study. Cluster sampling technique was used to sample four states out of seven states mentioned in the area of the study and all the 18 technical colleges and 6 building construction firms in the four sampled states in north western Nigeria were used. Purposive sampling was used to select 27 experts based on their working experience and educational qualification in building construction to participate in the qualitative segment of this study. For the qualitative section, interview guide\/protocol was developed based on the specific objectives of the research. It was made up of 3 open-ended questions designed to obtained sufficient information on the area of transversal green skills considered appropriate for the study. To ensure reliability of qualitative result of this research, two procedures were followed; member checking and peer debriefing. For the validity of the findings of this study, the researchers used member checking to determine the accuracy of the findings. The results of the data obtained from the interview was analyzed and interpreted using transcription, coding, thematic, content analysis and categorization. The findings for this study include Reflective Thinking Skills, Presentation Skills, Resourcefulness Skills and Application Skills. The study recommends that Federal and state Governments should via NBTE adopt and ensure proper implementation of this findings for technology graduates at technical colleges in Nigeria with the aim of achieving environmental sustainability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Keywords:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exploring, transversal green skills, technology graduates, environmental sustainability.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d0d4b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9d0d4b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Impact Statement<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20fbdf5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"20fbdf5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIdentification and understanding the transversal green skills required by technology graduates to contribute to environmental sustainability will enable Policymakers, Employers and Educators to develop training programmes and career pathways that support this goal.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Samaila Hamza<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Abubakar Ibrahim Muhammad<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Musa Ali Jogana<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3cfb35d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3cfb35d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">About The Author<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5fd62f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f5fd62f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Dr. Samaila Hamza (Corresponding Author)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Samaila Hamza is a proficient researcher and academician in the field of Technical and Vocational Education.
