Abstract :
Many graduates of Technical Colleges do not
have intention to establish and run their own businesses
which has caused a spike in the increase of unemployed
persons in the society. Venturing into business may not
necessarily solve these problems of unemployment but
venturing into the right business with the right skill. To
reduce the problems of unemployment EIMW students
should have a desire to start a business enterprise for
the purpose of making a profit. To achieve the purpose
of the study, six hypotheses were formulated. Two
hundred EIMW students were selected as sample using
the multistage sampling technique. The data collected
were analyzed using correlation and regression analysis.
The result of the study showed that independent
variables have significant influence on the dependent
variable, thereby, the null hypotheses were rejected. It
was concluded that available resources and
laboratory/workshop practices have significant
influence on the electrical installation and maintenance
work students’ entrepreneurial intentions. The result of
this study will help to change the societal
misconceptions about technical education
entrepreneurs.
