Abstract
Entrepreneurship training in tertiary institutions builds and develops students with the current skills required to grow the economy of a nation. The study was an assessment of entrepreneurship competence in terms of product design, product activation, and product marketing among educational management and business education students of the University of Ilorin. Descriptive statistics was adopted for the study. Three research questions were raised and answered, while one main hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. The population for the study comprised 860 students in both programmes, out of which 260 were sampled. A purposeful sampling technique was used to select the samples. The data for the study were collected using a structured, validated questionnaire tagged Comparison of Entrepreneurial Competence of Educational Management and Business Education Questionnaire (CECEMBEQ). The reliability of the instrument was determined with the use of Cronbach's alpha, and the result was 0.76. The returned questionnaires were analyzed electronically using inferential statistics. The major finding revealed that the competency of business education students’ and educational management is the same due to the level of exposure to practicals. The study recommended, that both educational management students and business education students should engage more in practical skills to increase their competency in the practical aspect.
