Abstract Employers in public sector companies in Edo and Delta states in Nigeria requested this research to determine the e-office computer application competencies needed by graduates of office technology education programs. To find out what e-office computer applications are needed by publie sector employers in Edo and Delta states, we conducted a survey. The study was led by a single research topic and a single null hypothesis that was evaluated at the 0.05 level of significance. This study was conducted using a survey methodology. In Edo and Delta States, the sample size was 262 employers in public organizations. The population was small enough that no sampling was necessary. A 16-item structured questionnaire was utilized to gather the data. Several specialists in business education and a test-and-measurement expert evaluated the instrument's validity. Test re-test approach was used to confirm the instrument's dependability, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to get the coefficient of reliability. It is safe to say that the ooefficient of trustworthiness is at least 0.78. For data analysis, the mean and the t-test statistics were utilized, respectively, to test the null hypothesis. The findings of the study showed that the identified competencies such as understand computer and its related components, trouble shoot the computer where necessary, use the Microsoft office packages, connect the computer to printer, scanner etc. were deemed required by employers. As a result of the findings, it was suggested that the identified competencies be used to enhance the office technology education curriculum and that sufficient computer systems with internet facilities be made available for the teaching and learning of office technology education students in order for them to successfully transition from school into the workplace.
