Abstract

This research examines the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education in improving young generation's job preparation through a systematic literature study approach and based on academic sources. Entrepreneurship education has developed into one of the promising learning mechanisms in responding to job market challenges that demand innovative and adaptive skills. Through a review of literature from various regions and institutions, this research highlights that the success of entrepreneurship education depends not only on the structure of the curriculum, but also on the learning methods used, the quality of facilitators, and the linkages between educational institutions and the business world. The analysis shows that participation in entrepreneurship programs increases self-awareness, self-confidence, and relevant soft and technical skills for the world of work. Structural challenges, such as the gap between intention and action, and the influence of culture on perceptions of entrepreneurship were also identified. This research contributes to the development of an educational framework that is more responsive to the social realities and economic needs of today's young people.
