Resumen
El estudio tiene como objetivo determinar cómo la utilización de las instalaciones afecta la adquisición de las habilidades de empleabilidad por parte de los estudiantes de educación empresarial matriculados en dos universidades públicas en el estado de Kwara, Nigeria. Se realizó un diseño de investigación descriptivo sobre una población de 315 estudiantes de último año de educación empresarial. Para recopilar la información, se utilizó una encuesta conocida como Cuestionario de Adquisición de Habilidades de Empleabilidad de los Estudiantes y Utilización de Instalaciones. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes universitarios de educación empresarial no adquirieron las habilidades de empleabilidad a un ritmo adecuado, y que el uso de la infraestructura tuvo un efecto general importante en el aprendizaje de habilidades de empleabilidad de los estudiantes. Las autoridades reguladoras, como la Comisión Universitaria de Nigeria, deberían establecer normas para la utilización de las instalaciones que permitan mejorar las habilidades de empleabilidad, que son esenciales para lograr resultados en un mercado laboral competitivo. También se sugiere desarrollar sistemas de seguimiento y evaluación para garantizar que profesores y estudiantes utilicen eficazmente las instalaciones de la biblioteca y los laboratorios.
