Although individuals with teaching qualifications like Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.)and Post-Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) are considered first for teaching positions, opportunities also abound for such individuals with a passion for entrepreneurship within the sector. This article presents different entrepreneurship opportunities which young people with education degrees can explore to become self-reliantand employers of labour. It is expected that the article will serve as a road map for young people desiring to become successful entrepreneurs, job creators and active contributors to sustainable development and prosperity of Sub-Saharan Africa.

DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5234011 Introduction Recently, scholarly literature in Africa has focused on exploring entrepreneurial opportunities as a solution to youth unemployment on the continent (Hassan & Olaniran, 2011; Uleanya & Gamede, 2017; Abisuga-Oyekunle & Fillis, 2017; Adom,Chiri, Quaye, & Awuah-Werekoh, 2018; Olaniran & Mncube, 2018; Dzomonda & Fatoki, 2019). The goal of an entrepreneurship programme anywhere is to equip the participants with relevant knowledge and skills to become entrepreneurs and solve some of the societal pressing problems. Sub-Saharan Africa is faced with the challenges of how to provide employment opportunities for her teeming young population (World Bank, 2019; Uleanya, Rugbeer & Olaniran, 2019). The reason is simple, as illustrated in Figure 1, Africa is the only continent in the world where the youth population is rising exponentially (Sow, 2019).According to Yahya (2017), by the year 2055, the continent‟s youth population, i.e. , those between the ages of 15 and 24, is expected to rise and double the year 2015 with a total of 226 million.
