Abstract
This study was conducted to identify the technical and managerial skill possessed by technical college prospective graduates of blocklaying and concreting in Delta State. To obtain information about the research, three research questions were raised. Information was collected through the questionnaire administered to the 30 prospective graduates of blocklaying and concreting. All the prospective graduates returned their copies of questionnaire representing a 100 percent return rate. Thus, the population for the study was 30 subjects. No sampling was done as the population size was small. Completed copies of the questionnaire collected from all the institutions were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The results of the study showed that: (1) blocklaying and concreting prospective graduates have adequate work skill for entrepreneurship (2) prospective graduates do not possess managerial skills to go into entrepreneurship (3) lack of capital hinders prospective graduates from entering into entrepreneurship ventures. Based on the results of the study, the following recommendations were made among others: a) Entrepreneurship Education should be introduced and implemented as a course in technical colleges, and b) Government should provide the initial capital for intending blocklaying and concreting graduates that have the desire for entrepreneurship.
