Abstract

Examining the effects of internships and entrepreneurship education on students' entrepreneurial attitudes and intents is the aim of this research at SMK Negeri Nganjuk. A descriptive explanatory design and quantitative methodology were employed, with 331 students chosen using proportional stratified random sampling procedures. SmartPLS software's Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to evaluate the data that was gathered via surveys. The results showed that entrepreneurship education significantly influenced students' entrepreneurial intentions and attitudes. Internship programs also contributed positively to entrepreneurial attitudes, although they did not directly affect entrepreneurial intentions. These findings imply the need for integration of entrepreneurship education and internship programs in the curriculum to prepare students to meet the demands of the business world and to help advance the field of entrepreneurship education. policies at the national and local levels.
