“…The current Italian context shows up a situation relating to young students’ entrepreneurship, featured with some elements of detachment between them and the decision to start a job of their own because the majority of them, at least at their first experience, tend to opt for company paid jobs, for reasons of security and confidence. Such a detachment, however, is nowadays called to be an area that deserves more attention due to the rising unemployment rate at the EU level, and the potential of better and renewed entrepreneurship policies to rid this problem (Israr & Saleem, ).…”

“…Arrighetti et al () discuss a number of individual factors (such as gender and age) affecting Italian students’ intentions to become entrepreneurs. Israr and Saleem () explored the factors motivating the Italian university students to embrace self‐employment and argued that the entrepreneurial education plays a crucial role in shaping people intentions to start a new venture.

This study aims to identify the factors motivating the intentions of university students to become entrepreneurs. Leveraging data from a survey of 941 Italian students and adopting Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour, this paper employs the structural equation model to identify factors explaining students' entrepreneurial intentions. The findings show that attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control positively shape Italian students' intentions. Moreover, the findings signal that the skills acquired during the university pathway play a crucial role in encouraging students to consider entrepreneurial choices. The paper extends and complements the academic and policy debate in the field of entrepreneurship offering a comprehensive investigation of the factors affecting entrepreneurial intentions. It also allows us to contend that higher education may have an important role to play in fostering the entrepreneurial intentions of young people. This is especially significant given current global economic conditions and the renewed importance of self-employment strategies.

Policy-makers generally consider entrepreneurship to be instrumental for economic growth and technological progress. The entrepreneurship process is shaped by the presence of entrepreneurship environment. Since entrepreneurship self-efficacy perceptions are also vital to new venture creation and its performance, entrepreneurship self-efficacy literature has generated interesting insights, the research on impact of environment on entrepreneurship self-efficacy is still less evident. This study tests the influence of some environmental cognitive support elements on the entrepreneurship selfefficacy. A cross-sectional research design in Vietnamese students with quantitative questionnaire approach was conducted. The sample consists of 350 students in 6 business and economics universities in Hanoi. The result of the multiple regression analysis reveals that environments' supportfactors including perceived financial and non-financial supports, and social supports are significantly related to perceived entrepreneurship self-efficacy of students. The study findings highlight some implications for government to reinforce policies encouraging entrepreneurship in university students.

“…Attitudes are open to change and can be influenced by educators and by an environment that fosters entrepreneurial activity. From an empirical point of view, the researcher would like to point that the students' mind will be more "entrepreneurial" after joined the EEP because they had been trained to face with several obstacles and get influences with the practitioners' positive minds (Israr & Saleem, 2018).…”
