Journal of Emerging Trends in Educational Research and Policy Studies (JETERAPS) (Vol 1 No 1)
| Abstract: This study examined the impact of Entrepreneurship Education on the entrepreneurial career intentions of students of tertiary institution. The study employed descriptive research design. Three hundred (300) students who registered for Entrepreneurship Education were randomly drawn from two private Nigerian universities in the South –West, Nigeria. Three research questions and one null hypothesis guided the study. Data collected was analyzed using percentage and t-test. The results showed that the students agreed that there is positive relationship between offering Entrepreneurship Education and their intention to become entrepreneurs. Results of the study further showed some obstacles such as government multiple taxes, lack of stable power supply, difficulty in assessing funds from banks among others as the main obstacles that may affect undergraduates’ interest from choosing entrepreneurship as a viable career option after graduation. On the basis of the findings, the study suggests that improving the overall business surrounding and entrepreneurial education might further increase the entrepreneurship intention of Nigerian undergraduates. Counselling implications were also highlighted. |
