Abstract

This study investigated the role of entrepreneurship education in shaping students' entrepreneurial intentions, including knowledge, understanding, skill, and confidence as moderation and family support as a moderator. The research uses primary data from 311 students by using systematic random sampling. The relationship between entrepreneurship education and students' entrepreneurial intention is measured using the partial least square model (PLS-SEM) technique. The findings reveal that entrepreneurial education (β = -0.014, p < 0.05) is insignificant with entrepreneurial intention, but it is significant through motivation (β = 0.124, p < 0.05). Moreover, the study found that entrepreneurship education positively affects the confidence (β = 0.417, p < 0.05) to start a business, motivation (β = 0.620, p < 0.05), required skill (β = 0.415, p < 0.05) for business and, understanding (β = 0.514, p < 0.05). This study concluded that entrepreneurship education is insufficient to foster youth entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurship courses should focus on enhancing motivation towards entrepreneurship alongside knowledge and skill development.
