ABSTRACT
There is a trend in recent times where graduates roam streets in search of jobs that do not exist and this development is compounded by the fact that these graduates passed through educational institutions that did not equip them with skills. As a way of overcoming this challenge, there has been emphasis on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education. Using social constructivism and the philosophical methods, this paper identifies and discusses this current thinking as a search and initiative in a postmodern tradition. The paper makes suggestions and recommendations, part of which is that societies should see themselves as being capable of contributing meaningfully to the development of humanity, that societies should incorporate those elements of functionalism that prioritize the acquisition of skills as well as retain practices of high value in one’s culture and society especially those that can banish unemployment into their present educational provisions.
Keywords: Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship Education, Postmodern, Postmodernism, Nigeria.
