Facility utilization and employability skills acquisition among undergraduates business education students in Kwara State public universities, Nigeria

The study aims to ascertain how facility utilization affects the acquisition of employable skills by business education enrolled in two public universities in Kwara State, Nigeria. A population of 315 final-year business education students was the subject of a descriptive research design. A survey known as the Facility Utilization and Students' Employability Skill Acquisition Questionnaire was used to gather the information. The results show that undergraduate students of business education did not acquire employability skills at a considerably higher rate, as well as using infrastructure facilities had a major overall effect on students' learning of employability skills. Norms for facilities utilization should be established by regulating authorities such as the Nigerian University Commission, in order to improve employability skills, which are essential for attainment in a competitive labor market. It is also suggested to develop monitoring and assessment systems to guarantee that lecturers and students use library and laboratory facilities effectively.

Abstract

The study aims to ascertain how facility utilization affects the acquisition of employable skills by business education enrolled in two public universities in Kwara State, Nigeria. A population of 315 final-year business education students was the subject of a descriptive research design. A survey known as the Facility Utilization and Students' Employability Skill Acquisition Questionnaire was used to gather the information. The results show that undergraduate students of business education did not acquire employability skills at a considerably higher rate, as well as using infrastructure facilities had a major overall effect on students' learning of employability skills. Norms for facilities utilization should be established by regulating authorities such as the Nigerian University Commission, in order to improve employability skills, which are essential for attainment in a competitive labor market. It is also suggested to develop monitoring and assessment systems to guarantee that lecturers and students use library and laboratory facilities effectively.
