Abstract

Several attempt shave been made by Nigerian government in order 
to find solutions to graduates’ unemployment without significant 
success. Nigerian graduates lack necessary skills, knowledge and 
ability to work in teams, think creatively or interact effectively with 
colleagues and potential customers. An enterprise culture which is 
a critical mix of success oriented attitudes of initiative, creativity, 
intelligent, risk taking, collaboration and opportunity recognition is 
the missing ingredient. To succeed in this period of job uncertainty, 
Office Technology and Management students should not rely on 
white collar job or paid employment on graduation but must 
maximize the use of the skills, knowledge and ability acquired while 
in school to create enterprises in order to earn a living and 
contribute to nation building. The researchers take a look at 
promoting enterprise culture among Office Technology and 
Management students for sustainable living. In doing this, relevant 
literatures were reviewed on the key words: Enterprise, Culture, 
Entrepreneur and Office Technology and Management. The paper identified ways of promoting enterprise culture among Office 
Technology and Management students and concludes with 
suggestions.
