The analysis revealed that the data followed a normal distribution, with a significance level of less than 0.05. The regression model established was Y = 1.105 X1 + 0.589, yielding a t-value of 6.579 and an R² value of approximately 0.653. These findings indicate that entrepreneurship education explains 65% of the variance in students' interest in entrepreneurship, suggesting that external factors account for the remaining 35%. The results underscore the significant influence of entrepreneurship education on enhancing business acumen among culinary arts students, indicating a high level of interest in entrepreneurial ventures. This study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the critical role of educational interventions in fostering entrepreneurial skills, thereby offering implications for curriculum development aimed at reducing unemployment through enhanced entrepreneurial engagement.
