The study examined the fish pond construction and management skills needed by the youths for sustainable self-employment in Enugu State. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. Two research questions and two null hypothesis guided the study. The null hypotheses were tested at probability of 0.05 level of significance. The population of the study comprised 200 respondents made up of 38 commercial fish farmers and 162 extension workers scattered in the six agricultural zones in Enugu State. There was no sampling because the population was manageable. Structured questionnaire was used for data collection made-up of 54 items. The instrument was validated by three experts and Cornbach Alpha Statistics was used to determine the internal consistency of the instrument and data collected were analysed using mean and standard deviation to answer, the research questions and t-test were used in testing the null hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance at 198 degree of freedom. The study found out that all the items for fish pond construction and management skills were needed by the youths for sustainable self-employment in Enugu State.  The null hypothesis tested showed no significant difference in the mean responses of fish farmers and agricultural extension agents with respect to the fish pond construction and management skills needed by the youths for sustainable self-employment in Enugu State. Based on these findings, it was recommended that youths should be encouraged to enrol in skill acquisition centres where these skills are taught and agricultural extension agents should create more awareness on the benefits of youths joining young farmers club where they will have the opportunity to be exposed to these skills
