Abstract

This paper aims to explain the factors that influence entrepreneurship education in shaping the development of entrepreneurship competency in vocational high school (SMK) students. The study was conducted in 4 (four) district / city locations, with each location represented by 3 (three) schools (2 public and 1 private). Data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to 300 students, with only 247 were returned. Analysis of the study was conducted using SEM technique with the Lisrel 87.0 program. The results showed that Entrepreneurship education (EED) in secondary and vocational schools positively affected collaborative learning (SLC) and the development of student entrepreneurship competencies (SECD). Entrepreneurship education itself is influenced by the competency factors of school principals' competencies (PEC), entrepreneurship training (ETR), and the participation of business and industry players (BIP). The problem that is still faced is how to arouse students' interest in making the field of entrepreneurship the foundation of life after completing their education. Students no longer expect to get jobs from the formal sector (government and private), but are independent, creative, innovative, and initiatives to create jobs from the entrepreneurial sector. For this reason, entrepreneurship education is needed by paying attention to and emphasizing the strength of the indicators of each variable found in this study, including: fostering cooperation with the business and industrial world, training in production and marketing, organizing teaching factories, supporting experts, teacher competencies in learning entrepreneurship, and utilization of local potential. © 2020, Conscientia Beam.
