The focus of the paper was on the relevance of informal education to entrepreneurship education. In doing this, the paper examined the prospects of new media as an informal tool, for the acquisition of entrepreneurship education and training. The intention of this paper was not to quantify the population of students that were internet or new media compliant but the quality of which the sample that were users put it into use. To achieve this, a study was conducted on One Hundred Final Year Higher National Diploma (HND II) students of Lagos State Polytechnic, to determine how new media has impacted on them in the process of acquiring entrepreneurship education and training, and to examine the prospect of adopting new media as an instrument for propagating entrepreneurship education. The findings showed that new media had not contributed significantly to this process. However, majority of the respondents agreed and also the hypothesis confirmed that new media has the potential to impact positively in their quest for entrepreneurship education and training. Some of the suggestions offered include government intervention, guidance by the volunteer groups and social media groups. If considered, it would accelerate positive engagement of new media.

Thus, many of Nigerian higher institutions are now introducing entrepreneurship studies into their school curriculum without a clear framework. This study intends to create a topology of skills that will help Electrical Technology students in Nigeria find jobs. To gather information about the different skills needed, the Google Scholar search engine was adopted. The search was between 2018 and 2023. The inclusion criteria involve entrepreneurship studies with a focus on Technical Education, Vocational education, and Electrical Technology.

<span lang="EN-US">The rising rate of youth unemployment and its attendant consequences on the general populace in Nigeria has assumed a frightening dimension. The academia and other relevant stakeholders have gradually come to realize that the possession of academic qualifications alone cannot guarantee a good quality job. Nigerian higher intuitions are now introducing entrepreneurship studies in their school curriculum without a clear framework. Research has shown that this does not guarantee total graduates unless we have an entrepreneurship skills framework that is functional and discipline-based. Noting that entrepreneurship is classified into two folds; entrepreneurship specific and entrepreneurship mindset, this study intends to develop an entrepreneurship skills framework that will promote the employability of the students of Electrical Technology in Colleges of Education in Nigeria. The survey research that employs the sequential exploratory mixed methods was used for the study. The population for this phase consists of entrepreneurs and academics in Nigeria. The use of the partial credit model in the Rasch analysis model guaranteed the consensus of the experts on each of the items being measured. The outcome of the study will contribute to the social-economic peace and sustainability in Nigeria and the body of knowledge in entrepreneurship regarding electrical technology.</span>
