Asian Journal of Agricultural Extension, Economics & Sociology, 2018, vol. 24, issue 3

Abstract: In recent times over 50% of graduates from universities and agricultural colleges in Ghana, do not gain employment upon completion of their education. This research finds out how the agricultural colleges could be repositioned such that their graduates will be self-employed upon completion of their education. In this research, I deployed a qualitative research method and concluded that: the agricultural colleges should establish an entrepreneurship hub in their respective colleges to train students on how to exploit their entrepreneurial intent so as to establish their own business upon graduation from their respective colleges. Secondly, I established that information communication technology is fast growing in developing countries and therefore students entrepreneurial activities should also focus on the development of information communication technology platforms to aid the agricultural sector in information dissemination and usage by farmers.
