Findings from Multiple Regression analysis indicated that entrepreneurship education, career guidance provision, tracking of graduates, links to professional networks and business incubation had significant and positive effect of self-employment. The findings have showed that the TVET institutions in Kenya have poor support systems although such systems have been shown to have positive effect on self-employment among the graduates.
