A checklist structured questionnaire developed by Lockwood was adapted and used for data gathering. The questionnaire was validated and pilot tested, and reliabilities of 0.85 was obtained for lecturers and 0.83 for students respectively. Four research assistants administered the questionnaires for both the students and lecturers. 208 copies of the questionnaire were administered to the student-respondents with a return rate of 85.58% and 42 questionnaires administered to Business Education lecturers with 80.95 % return rate. Data collected were analysed using mean and standard deviations. The finding revealed that the respondents considered the quality of curriculum design processes, curriculum content and resources for teaching delivery to promote the acquisition of job skills as moderately adequate. It was recommended among others that training needs assessment should precede the design of Business Education curriculum content and such needs should be effectively translated into learning elements by curriculum experts.<\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Key Words:<\/em><\/strong><em>&nbsp;Assessment, Business Education, Requisite Job Skills, Quality of education, Curriculum Content<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ijeti.uniben.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/INTERNATIONAL-JOURNAL-OF-ENTREPRENEURSHIP-IJETI-VOL.1-NO.2-OCTOBER-2024_102024-173-185.pdf\">Download Article<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. (Mrs) Victoria &nbsp;A.
