(UMK), Pengkalan Chepa and Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), Kota Bharu and
questionnaire were used to collect data. The result obtained from descriptive analysis
showed that there was a positive relationship of entrepreneurship education on career
intention and skills acquisition. Meanwhile multivariate regression analysis showed that
there was significant influence of entrepreneurship education on career intention (r2 = 73.8%)
and skills acquisition (r2 = 75.3%). The implication of this study suggested that entrepreneurship
education must be carefully designed so that career intention and skills acquisition can e
enhanced in
