摘要：This paper examines the readiness for entrepreneurship among the students of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). The findings are from a quantitative study which involves 1000 students from eight selected public TVET institutions in Peninsular Malaysia. Overall, the study found that respondents had a moderate level of readiness to be involved in entrepreneurship. Moreover, there is no significant difference of entrepreneurship readiness between the respondents at the certificate level and diploma level. However, the study shows that there is a significant difference between the entrepreneurial readiness’s of respondents that have family/parents who have entrepreneurial background compared to those who have parents with no entrepreneurial background. In addition, the study also reveals that there is also a significant difference in entrepreneurial readiness between the respondents who were engaged in entrepreneurial activities and those who were not engaged at all while studying. Studies have shown positively that the readiness of students at TVET institutions for entrepreneurship has the potential to be improved if significant factors that can encourage students' readiness towards continuous entrepreneurship can be systematically applied in the programme of study. Concurrently, this study also suggests that the opportunity to conduct entrepreneurial activities should be broadly open to TVET students based on the appropriate guidelines that may be developed according to the programme of study.
