dc.description.abstractThe study was intended to assess the influence of adequacy of colleges of education students’ business education curriculum content for the acquisition of job skills and job opportunities in Niger state. One research question was raised to guide the study, while one hypothesis was formulated and tested at the significance level of 0.05. The population of the study was 305 final year students of the Business Education Department of the colleges. Since the population is manageable, the researchers use the entire 305 final year students, hence there was no sample size for the study. The researchers developed a structured questionnaire for data collection. The instrument was validated by two experts from the rank of senior lecturer and above from the business education department of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. Cronbach Alpha method was used to test the reliability of the instrument which yielded a coefficient value of 0.82. Mean and standard deviation was used to answer the research questions while Simple Regression (SR) was used to test the null hypothesis formulated for the study at a significance level of 0.05. The findings of the study revealed, among others that business education curriculum content in Niger colleges of education does not provide students with essential skills required for their employability after graduation. In view of the findings, one of the recommendations made was that, the business education curriculum need’ an in-depth review that would enable the NCE graduates to respond to challenges in the labour market and field of work. This should be done by selecting contents that are consistent with emergent and anticipated needs, namely ICT competency, conflict resolution and economic survival and entrepreneurship.
