This study aim at examining the effects of TVET on producing productive workforce who are graduates under the moderation role of private sector. The study was conducted following cases of large number of graduates completing from middle technical and vocational colleges to find they are not employable. To uncover this gap, the study used quantitative research approaches. While the research design was explanatory, the sampling technique was simple random sampling. From a population of 3 NACTVET colleges comprising of 3350 unit of inquiry which was students, graduates and tutors from such selected NACTVET colleges, 357 sample of respondents was deduced. Moreover data collection from the sample obtained used survey-questionnaire. Before actual data analysis, pilot survey, data cleaning and factor analysis was conducted. The actual data analysis employed structural equation modeling from which the results were:-cognitive domain attributes found to have positive and insignificant effects on producing productive work force graduate. Also TVET psychomotor domain attributes revealed to have positive but insignificant effects on producing productive work force graduates, the same results were with behavioral affective domain skills on producing productive workforce graduates. Moreover the analysis found positive and significant effects of three factors on producing productive work force graduates under the moderation role of private sector. This either suggests to education stakeholders, policy makers, curriculum developers adopt the model this study has introduced by bringing private sector in TVET programs
