Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies in Relation to Attitude and Entrepreneurial Skills of TVL Students
Jaquiline Valiente
Discipline: Education
Abstract:
This study aimed to examine the relationship between personal entrepreneurial competencies, attitudes, and
entrepreneurial skills among Grade 12 students in the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) track at Casay National
High School. The respondents were purposively selected based on their strand, with the majority specializing in
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). Most participants were under 18 years old, female, and belonged to lowincome households. Using a descriptivecorrelational research design, the study identified that self-confidence, goal
setting, and persuasion were the most prominent entrepreneurial competencies among the respondents. While students
exhibited generally favorable attitudes toward risk-taking and achievement, their scores in these areas remained
moderately low. Further analysis revealed that personal entrepreneurial competencies significantly influence students'
attitudes toward entrepreneurship, with systematic planning playing a moderating role in this relationship. Goal setting
was found to have a strong impact on leadership, communication, and financial management, whereas adaptability
and information-seeking demonstrated a moderate influence on risk-taking behavior. The findings underscore the
importance of strengthening entrepreneurial education by enhancing students' risk-taking abilities, strategic planning,
and leadership skills. Insights from this study contribute to the development of targeted educational interventions that
aim to bridge the gap between entrepreneurial aspirations and real-world application, ensuring TVL students are better
equipped for entrepreneurial success.
