Abstract: Experiential learning is indispensable and its joint role with academic institutions’ transformative power is mostly unquantifiable. The study argued that experiential learning is vital for venture creation among graduate entrepreneurs. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted and data was collected from 406 graduate entrepreneurs in Lagos State 2021 of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) 21A and Stream 1 Batch. The results revealed that experiential learning had a positive and significant effect on venture creation among graduate entrepreneurs in Lagos State (β = 0.290, t = 4.077, F(5, 385), p<0.05). As such, academic administrators and institutions should revamp the entrepreneurship curriculum and inculcate experiential learning through hands-on experience and field excursions to enable venture creation among graduates.
