Correlational research design was used to carry out the study. The population of the study consisted of six hundred and sixty-four (664) final-year undergraduates from three tertiary institutions in Rivers State. The sample size consisted of 254 final-year undergraduates from the selected institutions used for the study. The simple random sampling technique was used to select the sample of the study. A researcher-designed Techno-teaching and Employability Potential Questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. The researcher’s supervisor and two experts from the Department of Business Education validated the instrument. The reliability index of 0.843 was determined through the Cronbach Alpha Reliability Test for data gotten through a pilot-testing approach. Out of 242 copies of the questionnaire administered, 242 copies successfully retrieved were used for further analysis. Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation was used to answer the research questions, while Linear Regression Analysis was used to test the hypotheses at the 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between computer adoption and the employability potential of business education undergraduates in tertiary institutions in Rivers State, and there was a significant relationship between interactive whiteboard adoption and employability potential of business education undergraduates in tertiary institutions in Rivers State. It was concluded that computers, interactive whiteboards, adoption in business education have a direct bearing on the employability potential of business education undergraduates in tertiary institutions in Rivers State. One of the recommendations made was that the management of tertiary institutions has a policy on the adoption of computer tools for lecturers in the teaching of business education since it has a direct bearing on the employability of the business education graduates
