ABSTRACT
The study was designed to determine the skills possessed by
auto technology self employed graduates in Nasarawa state. Survey research
design was adopted for the study. The population for the study was 110
respondents comprises of 30 auto technology entrepreneurs and auto technology
employees. There was no sampling because of manageable size of the population.
A structured questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. The
instrument was trial-tested on 15 respondents who were not part of the
population used for the study after being subjected to face validation by three
3 experts from the department of vocational teacher education, university of
Nigeria, Nsukka. Cronbach Alpha reliability method was used to determine the
internal consistency of the instrument and 0.984 reliability coefficient value
was obtained. Five research questions and five null hypotheses were formulated
for the study. Mean was used to analyze the data for research questions while
t-test was used to test the hypotheses of no significant difference at 0.05
level of significance. The study revealed 36 technical skills, 16 managerial
skills, 11 financial management skills, 21 marketing skills and 16
communication skills possessed by graduates of auto technology for
self-employment in Nasarawa state. There was no significant difference in the
mean responses of auto technology entrepreneurs and auto technology employees

technology as prospective entrepreneurs in the country. It was also recommended
that the entrepreneurial skills identified should be introduced as one of the
compulsory subjects in all secondary schools in the country. Through this
methods students who transcend into technical institutions to the university
level, would have become conversant with the tenets of entrepreneurial demand.
