Abstract
The rapid advancement of computer technologies has significantly transformed educational practices, offering innovative tools for skill development across various disciplines. In technical colleges, where professional competencies are critical for workforce readiness, integrating computer-based learning methods can enhance practical skills, problem-solving abilities, and digital literacy. This article examines the effective application of computer technologies in shaping professional skills among technical college students, highlighting strategies, benefits, and challenges. The study emphasizes the role of interactive software, simulation platforms, virtual laboratories, and e-learning systems in providing hands-on experience, fostering critical thinking, and bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Moreover, the integration of modern IT solutions facilitates personalized learning, progress monitoring, and collaborative learning environments, contributing to higher student engagement and professional preparedness. The findings underscore that systematic incorporation of computer technologies into technical education curricula is essential for producing skilled graduates capable of meeting contemporary industry demands.
