Abstract

This study explores the role of technology in entrepreneurial reskilling in Ghanaian tertiary institutions, focusing on the use of technological tools, their impact, and the challenges faced by students. The research reveals a diverse use of technology in entrepreneurship classes, including digital analytics, online collaboration tools, and presentation software. The study used a face-to-face interactions and telephone interviews by way of a semi-structured questionnaire. A purposive sampling approach was used. It identified 36 students from six tertiary institutions across Ghana who have experienced the use of technological tools in their entrepreneurial classes. Responses from participants were analyzed using thematic analysis. Major statements and themes that occurred frequently in the responses of participants were coded into “technological knowledge and reskilling” and “digital analytics and e-commerce.” The study underscored entrepreneurial reskilling and the importance of integrating Industry 4.0 technologies to enhance entrepreneurial reskilling and innovation.
