The study adopted the sequential mixed methods research design. The multi-stage sampling procedure was used in this study. The economic sectors were stratified into seven sectors in Ibadan Metropolis. 20 employers of labour were selected from each sector using a convenience sampling technique. A total of 140 employers were used for the study. 10 human resources managers were purposively selected as Key informants for interview sections using an interview guide.

Among others, some recommendations were made that the management of various educational institutions should put more emphasis on experiential learning to gain practical experience through service learning, internships, volunteer work, teaching practice, or part-time jobs to expose learners to employability skills in terms of, organisation skill, creativity, teamwork and, planning.

V.The study assessed NYSC's Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme (SAED) on the entrepreneurial development of ex-corp members that served between 2015 and 2020. In this study, three research questions were posed and addressed. This study adopted a survey research design. 250 masters' students that have undergone NYSC were randomly selected at the University of Ibadan. Three validated instruments were used to collect data for the study: NYSC's Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Programme Scale (ANYSCSAEDPS) (r = 0.76), Benefits and Challenges of NYSC's Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Questionnaire (BNYSCSAEQ) (r = 0.84). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency counts, percentages, mean and standard deviation. The findings revealed that majority of the ex-corp members during NYSC's (SAED) Programme were exposed to educational skills, tourism and cosmetology, while few were exposed to horticulture and landscaping 15 (5.6 percent), power and energy 14 (9.6%), and automobile 8 (3.2 percent). The study also revealed that SAED was beneficial and very good for youth empowerment. It can therefore, be concluded that the SAED programme is beneficial to graduates' empowerment and the reduction of unemployment among youths, although its contribution to the development of entrepreneurial skills was not adequate enough due to some challenges facing its implementation. Consequently, the government should devote more attention to the programme by making resources available for its smooth implementation. Corps members should be re-oriented on the benefits of participating in SAED through their commitments when enlisting for entrepreneurship training during service, among other things.Item Economics pre-service teachers’ knowledge and practices of reflective teaching as predictors of teaching skills in Ibadan(2021) Gbadamosi, T.

V.; Orunmuyi, A. A.The high prevalence of youth unemployment has resulted in a monumental loss in building a great nation.

The study revealed that there is a low positive correlation between students’ social entrepreneurship knowledge and students’ creation of innovative social enterprises (r = 0.010; P<0.05); there is a high positive relationship between students’ entrepreneurship skills and creation of innovative social, enterprises (r = 0.936; P<0.05) and high positive correlation between students' entrepreneurship attitudes and creation of innovative Social Enterprises (r = 0.912; P < 0.05). It can be concluded from this study that students’ social entrepreneurship knowledge, attitudes, and skills are key ingredients to promote social enterprise to be self-reliant while developing their communities. Social entrepreneurship should, therefore, be integrated into the University curriculum, to encourage students to think of solutions to challenges facing society while bringing up social innovators and gainfully employment.Item Online teaching and educationists during and after covid- 19 lockdown(John Archers Ltd for the Department of Adult Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2021) Gbadamosi, T.
