Vocational Technical Education and Entrepreneurship Education

Abstract

The fluctuating labour market and the increasing rate of unemployment in the country today has made it necessary for graduates and undergraduates to acquire vocational and entrepreneurship skills that will empower them to be job creators instead of job seekers. This paper discusses the essence of vocational technical education and entrepreneurial education in enhancing the employment opportunities of graduates and undergraduates as well as the various entrepreneurial options in VTE that graduates and undergraduates alike can undertake in order to be relevant in the present economic reality. These options include: vocational agriculture, vocational home economics, distributive education, vocational business and office occupation and technical education.
