Justeru, the Malaysian Ministry of Education, aims to give birth to young entrepreneurs who are skilled in various fields through the programmes offered at the Vocational College (KV). However, the percentage of KV graduates who enter the field of entrepreneurship is still low, given that students have not been given extensive exposure to the field. Therefore, the study is aimed at studying entrepreneurial attitudes and determination and their relationship to entrepreneurship interests among students of the 2021 Malaysian Vocational Diploma through three programmes: Culinary Arts (HSK), Feysen Art Design (HFD), and Cosmetology. (HKM). This descriptive survey involved a total of 51 randomly selected respondents. The analysis showed that the level of the minimum scale for the three variables of entrepreneurship attitude, entrepreneurial determination, and enterprise interest was high. The relationship between entrepreneurial attitude and determination and entrepreneurship interest is also high. It shows that the entrepreneurial attitude and determination of diligence need to be fertilised and applied in order to increase the interest of students in exploring the field of difficulty.
