ABSTRACT: This study examined the level of entrepreneurial self-efficacy among undergraduate teacher-trainees in the Department of Social Studies Education at the University of Education, Winneba. The mixed methods approach at a convergent parallel was used for the study. The sample size for the study was seven hundred and fifty (750) participants who were selected by census. Twenty-one (21) respondents out of the 750 were selected conveniently for the qualitative data. The instruments used for gathering data included a questionnaire and an interview guide for the quantitative and qualitative data, respectively. The quantitative data were analysed through the generation of descriptive statistics in the form of frequencies, means, percentages, and standard deviations. The qualitative data were analysed under various themes generated from the data gathered. Findings from the study indicate that Social Studies undergraduate teacher-trainees of the University of Education, Winneba, possess high levels of entrepreneurial self-efficacy. It was therefore recommended that the government create an enabling environment that would allow these undergraduate teacher-trainees to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams after school.
