Abstract

The entrepreneurship development programme (EDP) was introduced into the curricula of tertiary institutions for the purpose of nurturing a new set of undergraduate students with practical skills for self-employment. This article investigates the students' viewpoints on the outcomes of EDP on entrepreneurial mindset (EM), entrepreneurial intention (EI) and entrepreneurial capacities (EC) after undergoing entrepreneurship education courses. The method of investigation is the quantitative research approach leveraging on the survey as the strategy for data collection. From a population of 458 students in a school, a sample of 200 undergraduate students was randomly administered structured questionnaires. Using descriptive and inferential statistics, this article found that EDP has a significant influence on students' EM, EI, and EC. The article recommends interventions such as adequate funding, capacity-building for entrepreneurship lecturers, improved curriculum development and Town-Gown collaboration for the synergy of practice and theory.
