Description
Summary:It is platitude that entrepreneurship education presents students with the knowledge and motivation that will encourage entrepreneurial success and increase self-employment. Presently, it is glaring to note that nations throughout the world wish to promote its entrepreneurial sector towards a vibrant and robust economy. The reason is that entrepreneurship education can provide opportunities if implemented properly through good education and orientation, using the invention and development of new products and services which motivate self-employment among the students. The major aim of this work is to enhance entrepreneurship education towards cultivating the intention of self-employment among university students. By doing so, the meta-analytic research approach will be used to exhaustively identify all relevant studies that meet the established criteria in existing literature and desk research. The findings of this study show that training programmes in university curriculum are able to enhance entrepreneurship education towards self-employment and it is becoming a new trend in developing the economy to achieve the aim of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The current research recommends a supportive business environment, new institutional mechanism and incentives for seed capital funding while its limitations are lack of basic skills, capital and contacts. Hence, this study highlights that entrepreneurship education will address the financial bottleneck encountered by entrepreneurs.
