Abstract: The study was carried out to investigate the influence of fully practical entrepreneurship training on entrepreneurial intention. With the aid of a cross-sectional design, 1,662 undergraduates of Lagos State University, who were selected through a combination of systematic and stratified sampling techniques, responded to an 11-item Entrepreneurial Intentions Questionnaire (EIQ). Results, from analyses with the Chi-Square and Kruskal-Wallis H tests, reveal strong associations and relationships between approach to training and entrepreneurial intentions; such that more 300 level students who had hands-on entrepreneurship training had higher entrepreneurial intentions scores than 200 level students who had theoretical entrepreneurship training. Furthermore, practically trained students generally had stronger entrepreneurial intentions compared to theoretically trained students. This pragmatic nature of hands-on approach to entrepreneurship training which, for the most part, differs from other forms of entrepreneurship training appears to be able to stimulate much more entrepreneurial intentions, and consequently more start-ups.
