FACTORS THAT WILL ENHANCE DEVELOPMENT OF CAREER SERVICE CENTRES IN NIGERIAN’ TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

This chapter explores the critical factors that can enhance the development of Career Service Centres (CSCs) in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Drawing on recent studies and policy initiatives, it examines how adequate funding, institutional policies, industry collaboration, skilled personnel, technology integration, student engagement, and governance mechanisms contribute to more effective CSCs. The chapter argues that strategic alignment among government agencies, institutions, industry, and students is essential to strengthen CSCs, improve graduate employability, and bridge the gap between academic learning and labour market demands.
