Abstract


This study explore how entrepreneur education affects student’s entrepreneurial intentions while focusing on the entrepreneurial mindset as a mediator The research was carried out on vocational high school students in Blitar Regency, Indonesia, with a sample of 400 respondents. The SEM-PLS approach was applied to study the relationship among three main constructs: entrepreneurial education (ED), entrepreneurial mindset (EM), and entrepreneurial intention (EI). The results showed that entrepreneurial education significantly and positively impacts the development of an entrepreneurial mindset among students. In addition, both entrepreneurial education and the entrepreneurial mindset independently and significantly affect the students' intention to become entrepreneurs. Finally, the entrepreneurial mindset is established to mediate the relationship between education and entrepreneurial intention, thus enhancing the impact of entrepreneurial education on students' career orientation. The model is proven to be highly reliable and valid, established by AVE, composite reliability, and Cronbach's alpha, while predictive relevance was confirmed by R-square and Q-square statistics. These findings emphasize the strategic importance of entrepreneurship education in creating a new generation of creative, confident, and opportunity-oriented individuals. This research bears significant implications for educational policy.
