Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of entrepreneurship education and soft skills development on the entrepreneurial intentions of Economics Education students at Universitas Negeri Medan. Based on a survey of 41 respondents and a multiple linear regression analysis, it was found that both variables significantly influence students' entrepreneurial intentions. The results show that entrepreneurship education (with a t-value of 2.406) and soft skills (with a t-value of 3.844) have a positive impact. Collectively, these two factors can explain 71.4% of the variation in entrepreneurial intention. The regression model obtained is Y = 2.251 + 0.371X1 + 0.601X2. The conclusion of this research confirms the importance of integrating entrepreneurship education and soft skills development to increase entrepreneurial intention and support economic development.
