Abstract

This study determined ways towards empowering technical vocational education and training (TVET) youths through entrepreneurship education as the heart of sustainable development in Nigeria. The study is a descriptive survey design with three research questions. A proportionate stratified random sampling technique was employed in selecting 115 respondents, made up of 68 TVET facilitators and 57 entrepreneurship education experts from six tertiary institutions in the three Local Government Areas of Lagos and Enugu States, Nigeria. A self-structured questionnaire validated by three experts with a reliability coefficient of 0.84 was used as an instrument for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using Mean and Standard Deviation. The findings revealed 11 prospects, 11 challenges, and 14 strategies towards empowering TVET youths through entrepreneurship education. The researchers recommended re-training TVET facilitators through organized entrepreneurship education workshops for sustainable development.
