ABSTRACT:
Despite efforts by the government and policymakers in Kogi State Nigeria through entrepreneurship training aimed at reducing the rate and level of unemployment in the state, the outcome has continuously remained unimpressive. The study cross-examined the trainability theory of entrepreneurship as a strategy against unemployment in Kogi State, Nigeria. With a population of 910 registered entrepreneurs in the state, a sample of 278 respondents was drawn and used for the study. Regression was used to test the formulated hypothesis. The study recorded a strong and positive alliance between the trainability theory of entrepreneurship and employment level in Kogi State. It was concluded that the trainability theory of entrepreneurship is a strategy against unemployment in Kogi state Nigeria and recommended that active youths in Kogi State should be encouraged to constantly develop self, believing in their capabilities to exploit hidden entrepreneurial opportunities as this will reduce unemployment level to the barest minimum in Kogi State Nigeria.
