The purpose of this study was to explore the entrepreneurial competencies for technical college programs in Nigeria. This study was guided by qualitative approach through document analysis and semi-structured interview with 15 participants selected purposively and eleven Journal Articles were analyzed. The empirical findings from semi-structured interviews confirm the theoretical findings in document analysis. This study found several managerial entrepreneurial competencies in document analysis and interviews, eventually analyzed thematically. Themes include: Business plan, Decision making, technical know-how, Interpersonal relationship and Communication. The study analyzed only 11 documents and conducted 15 interviews, so the conclusions drawn from these sources depend on the authenticity of the information provided by the participants. The study found that managerial entrepreneurial competencies are worth for inclusion into the technical college programs curriculum in Nigeria. Therefore, it is recommended that the curriculum needs to be reviewed to ensure that they meet the educational changes such as global trends, 21st century education policies and Industrial Revolution 4.0, which now become a worldwide phenomenon.&nbsp;<\/p><p><i><b>Keywords:<\/b> Industrial Revolution 4.0, entrepreneurial framework, entrepreneurial competencies, 21st century.<\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d85ed37 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d85ed37\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-078e258\" data-id=\"078e258\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8121fa4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8121fa4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Impact statement<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05ce276 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"05ce276\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It is clear that technical and vocational education is the most reliable tool to reduce poverty, unemployment, eradicate disease, among other example in developing countries. Thus, in Nigeria, the purpose of establishing technical colleges is to address the issues of job creation, self reliance and skills development. However, most technical college students graduate without the required entrepreneurial skills. Likewise, the gap between college-taught curriculum and the skills required in small businesses and enterprises is a main hindrance to SMEs growth. Therefore, there is need for a new school curriculum that will adapt the teaching of entrepreneurship, which will be the solution to the current problem of unemployment. This research examined the important elements of managerial entrepreneurial competencies that are suitable for integration into technical college curriculum in Nigeria as required for self-employment. In essence, this research has practical implications for of Nigerian Government; policy makers, curriculum developers, administrators, lecturers and students.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-189df7c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"189df7c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-491fd0a\" data-id=\"491fd0a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c26d42c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c26d42c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">About Author<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08251a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"08251a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abubakar Ibrahim Muhammad PhD<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dynamic, qualified and knowledgeable care and technical educator who is attuned to the need of his students, with 28 years\u2019 experience in education sector.
