Abstract

This study examines the effects of Entrepreneurship Education and Digital Entrepreneurship on vocational students’ Entrepreneurial Intention. A quantitative survey involved 400 active students of the Department of Business Administration at Politeknik Negeri Pontianak selected through purposive sampling. Questionnaire data were analyzed using multiple linear regression in SPSS. Entrepreneurship Education had a positive and significant effect (B = 0.433; t = 5.572; p < 0.001), as did Digital Entrepreneurship (B = 0.488; t = 5.496; p < 0.001). Both predictors were simultaneously significant (F = 174.008; p < 0.001). The model produced R = 0.683 and R² = 0.467. The findings support integrating practice-oriented entrepreneurship education with stronger digital competencies in vocational higher education.
