Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper draws on lifelong learning in promoting entrepreneurial prospects among young adults in communities in Ghana. The problem of unemployment facing young adults in Ghana seems huge and fostering enterprising mind-sets in them is crucial. This qualitative case study used Level 400 Bachelor of Science Administration students pursuing degree program via distance education (DE) mode at Accra Learning Center. Purposive sampling procedures were adopted and 15 participants sampled for the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted. Narrative and interpretivist approaches were adopted in presenting results. It emerged that many young adults lacked flexible credits and benefits of mentorship from astute entrepreneurs to create and grow micro-enterprises to foster enterprising mind-sets in managing enterprises in communities. The study concludes that entrepreneurship and mentorship are introduced early to young adults to develop passion for entrepreneurship. Lifelong learning should be encouraged amongst young adults to become creative in managing ventures in Ghana.
