Abstract

This research focuses on Chinese college students, investigating the factors influencing their entrepreneurial intentions and the effectiveness of current innovation and entrepreneurship educational programs. Employing a mixed-methods approach that includes both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, the study samples students from key universities to uncover patterns and perceptions around entrepreneurship. Improving the educational framework for innovation and entrepreneurship emerges as a strategic imperative from this study. The findings are significant for refining educational strategies, aiding policy formulation, and guiding the reform of innovation and entrepreneurship education to foster a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem in China. This has profound implications for economic dynamism and addressing the socio-economic challenges of the modern era.
