Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the availability of family support and start-up capital as determinants of infopreneurial career intentions for undergraduates in the Department of Records and Archives Management at the National University of Science and Technology. Using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires from a population of 26 part IV class of 2021-2022. Convenient sampling was used on the selected cohort within the Faculty of Communication and Information Science. Findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between the support from family as a factor that contributes to infopreneurial career intentions and that also capital is a much needed resource that aids new business ventures. The study recommended the introduction of entrepreneurial courses at an earlier stage to students in the faculty. It also recommended that the university should invite experts to conduct seminars and workshops on entrepreneurship and infopreneurship.
