This research paper seeks to assess the perceptions of stakeholders on how the industrial attachment programme in Ghanaian polytechnics affects the development of human capital.Analytical and evaluative research designs were employed in conducting the study with a sample of 594 respondents.Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed in the data analysis.The industrial attachment programme has been perceived as a catalyst to human capital development in Ghanaian polytechnics because it serves as a perfect transition from the classroom to the world of work.The disparities in perceptions of the industrial attachment programme for each pair of the four categories of stakeholders was moderate, while disparities in the perceptions of Accra and Kumasi Polytechnics; as well as Kumasi and Takoradi Polytechnics was small.To ensure effective,efficient and holistic practical development of human capital in Ghanaian polytechnics, experiential learning via industrial attachment should be adopted by all stakeholders.
