Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
This study has investigated on ICT employment generation and entrepreneurship education at FUTM. A survey instrument was used to collect data from 200 student respondents from seven schools at FUTM. The study probed students’ perceptions concerning the state of existing facilities in their schools whether these facilities can support the needs of entrepreneurship programme and entrepreneurship course offered at the University, FUTM. Overall, findings from the study revealed that, facilities for teaching and learning of entrepreneurship were inadequate except lecture halls, library, transport and furniture. Generally, the respondents perceived instructional strategies and assessment techniques to be effective. Similarly the findings suggest that, the recommended teaching and learning methods as well as the assessment techniques were not effectively utilized, as teaching tends to be more theoretical and not practical in nature. The study proffers that the provision of university entrepreneurship education with availability of adequate facilities would only but boosts entrepreneurial intention and activities among the student youth. Finally, the study concludes by suggesting that the provision of adequate resources is very necessary to effective teaching and learning of the Entrepreneurship Course in this University, FUTM.
