Abstract

This study explores the role of technology education in fostering entrepreneurial skills among youth, aiming to equip them with practical knowledge for personal and professional growth. Conducted in tertiary institutions in Cameroon's North-West Region, the research employed descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation, and simple linear regression to analyse relationships between variables. Findings indicate a positive link between technology education and entrepreneurial skills, highlighting the need for a curriculum structure with 60% practical, hands-on activities and 40% theory. The study recommends that instructors with strong practical expertise teach these courses to nurture student competencies effectively.
