It analyzed the concept of Agricultural Education as a skill acquisition programme in need of workshops to actualize its objectives. It also conceptualized the term “Agricultural education workshops” while raising some arguments between Agricultural education workshop and Agricultural laboratories. Some objectives and importance of Agricultural education workshop were enumerated. Some problems, observations and areas of policy needs were discussed with regards to Agricultural Education workshop. It was identified that the term “Agricultural Education workshop” is not popularly used in available literatures. An Agricultural education workshop attendant was described while identifying the skill needs and operational activities to be included in the workshop such as Agricultural engineering skills/activities, crop/soil skills/activities, processing skills/activities, fish culturing skills/activities, administrative and management skills/activities, waste management skills/activities, etc. Based on this review, recommendations were made to encourage the usage of qualified and competent workshop attendants for effective implementation of Agricultural Education as a tool for self-reliance, economic growth and development.
