dc.descriptionToday, a huge unemployment is being paraded in many parts of the world especially Nigeria. This mainly occurs because most the unemployed youths lack innovative skills. Government’s attitude to this problem is not also encouraging.
dc.description.abstractThe acquisition of skills has demonstrably ascended to the forefront of societal priorities due to its undeniable impact on advancing socioeconomic well-being. In terms of the economy, gaining new skills revitalizes markets and creates new opportunities for unemployed graduates and young individuals. Youth unemployment remains an ongoing problem in Nigeria, posing significant challenges for the nation. Addressing this issue and finding viable solutions has become increasingly urgent.The qualitative study conducted in Kwara State explored entrepreneurial skills acquisition and employment generation among alumni of IVTEC AjaseIpo. Through face-to-face interviews with 12 alumni, the study focused on skills acquired, methods of skills acquisition, and employment through entrepreneurial endeavors. Findings revealed a synthesis of technical skills, entrepreneurial skills, ICT competencies, soft skills, and adaptability/resilience among participants. These skills were acquired through hands-on training, real-world projects, industry internships, interactive learning, mentorship, and extracurricular activities. Participants leveraged their skills to establish successful entrepreneurial ventures, contributing to job creation and economic development in the region. The study underscores the importance of holistic skill development and entrepreneurship education in preparing individuals for the workforce and fostering sustainable economic growth. Recommendations include prioritizing practical entrepreneurship education in educational curricula, establishing entrepreneurship centers, facilitating industry internships, raising awareness about skill acquisition and entrepreneurship, and providing ongoing support for entrepreneurs. Implementing these recommendations can create an enabling environment for skills acquisition, entrepreneurship, and employment generation, driving economic prosperity in Kwara State.
