Abstract: Dual careers have become a relevant matter in the world of work as one of the tools that can improve social life. In that regard, this study sought to examine the influence of development of career opportunities on dual career development among students. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design with both qualitative and quantitative approaches in which a population of 360 people involving headteachers, deputy headteachers, Directors of Studies, Career guidance teachers, Games teachers; Sports officers; and students who have been involved in games and sports in the schools were targeted. The study used a sample of 186 people selected using purposive, simple random and cluster sampling techniques. Data was collected using a validated and pre-tested self-administered questionnaire and interview guide. Analysis of the quantitative data collected was done using descriptive and inferential statistics generated by the SPSS; while analysis of the qualitative data was done using thematic and content analysis.
The findings of the study revealed that for development of career opportunities and dual career development; R2 = .227, F=53.669, Sig= .000 < .05 for academic career and R2 = .299, F=78.211, Sig = .000 < .05 for sports career. The study concluded that development of career opportunities had a higher influence for sports than for academic career development. The study finally recommends that career guidance teachers need to be appropriately informed about the processes that lead to development of career opportunities among individuals.
