Abstract:

This study sought to examine the effect of entrepreneurship education in Cameroon universities on the potential of university graduates to create jobs and enterprises. The research population were post graduate students of social and management sciences of the University of Buea, the Higher Institute of Management Sciences Buea and the Biaka University Institute Buea.  A sample size of 300 respondents was used for the study. The research used a structured questionnaire as the instrument of research. The questionnaire was subject to face and content validity by experts at the Information Communication Technology University, Yaoundé.  A reliability test of at least 0.6 of alpha Cronbach score was acceptable and showed internal consistency. A further analysis using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was carried out. The study contributes to science by highlighting that appropriate and adequate entrepreneurial education is needed in Cameroon universities to boost graduate job creation abilities, curb youth unemployment and poverty.
