The purpose of the present study is to explore the relationship between the components of entrepreneurship education on the one hand and the antecedents of students’ entrepreneurial intentions, on the other hand. A casual comparative survey was conducted to find out the impact of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurship education participants (n=198) and on non-participants (n=202). The sample was selected from GIII level students of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). The t-test was applied to study the mean difference. The structural equation modeling was used to study the relationship between the entrepreneurship education components and the antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions. The embedded research design was used to support the results of the quantitative dataset by means of the qualitative interviews of the entrepreneurship education participants (n=15). The results showed that there was an impact of entrepreneurship education on the student’s intentions to become entrepreneurs. The originality of the present research consists of the combination of components of entrepreneurship education and antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions in the context of TVET. This study will be useful for policy makers and curriculum developers. The study is limited only to the GIII level students of TVET. A future study can be conducted to investigate the entrepreneurial behavior of TVET graduates.
