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.
