Abstract:
Entrepreneurship education integration in TVET has been identified as the key to solving the unemployment among the youth in any nation. In this regard, the study was conducted to assess the integration of entrepreneurial skills in vocational education as a strategic approach for achieving youth employment in Ghana using Kumasi Metropolis. The descriptive survey method was employed in this study. A total of 50 respondents consisting teaching and non-teaching staff was sampled randomly and purposively from five vocational institutions identified in the Kumasi Metropolis. Questionnaire was the main data collection instrument used. Simple statistical analytical tools like frequencies, percentages and means were used to analyse the collected data using SPSS version 20. The study revealed that there were several practices that actually promote the entrepreneurial skill acquisition of students in the vocational training institutes. Among these practices were the provision of independent and critical thinking skills and competency based training of students based on practical activities.
