Entrepreneurship education is a tangible factor and a moving force that enhances the development of any nation's economy. This study examined entrepreneurship education as a catalyst for technical and vocational educational training. To achieve the objective, a descriptive research design was adopted to gather data for the study through the distribution of questionnaires to 544 respondents selected purposefully for the study. Meanwhile, of the 544 questionnaires distributed to the respondents, only 534 copies were returned and used for the study. Both descriptive and inferential statistics of the Friedman Chi-square test were adopted for the study. The result of the Friedman Chisquared test obtained revealed that entrepreneurship education was indeed a catalyst for technical and vocational educational training (TVET). This inference was based on the fact that the p-value of the Friedman Chi-squared test computed for the test items of 0.0000 was less than the critical value of 5%. The author concluded that entrepreneurship education was indeed a catalyst for TVET. It was recommended that entrepreneurship education form part of the core curriculum of the colleges.
