dc.description.abstractThis study examined the influence of continuing education on graduate unemployment in Lagos state, Nigeria. Graduate unemployment in Nigeria has reached a worrisome level. The problem with graduate unemployment is that it aggravates poverty. Descriptive survey design was used, while purposive sampling technique was adopted to select 140 unemployed graduates cutting across different fields of study. Purposive sampling was used so as to capture the intended recipients of the study. The instrument for data collection in this study is the questionnaire tagged Unemployment Questionnaire (UQ). Three research questions were raised and descriptively answered, while two research hypotheses were formulated. The hypotheses were analysed using one-way ANOVA. The findings show that 47% of respondents indicated that unemployment impacts them and their families negatively, while another 47% indicated no impact. Also, 51%, on average, are considering alternative ways, including career diversification and training, to secure a job. Most respondents agreed that continuing education has a significant effect in consideration for earning a living. Based on the findings, a number of recommendations were proffered, including career diversification and advancement. The paper surveyed the role of continuing education in reducing unemployed graduates by providing alternative pathways to earning a living among unemployed graduates.
