ABSTRACT

In recent years, China's vocational education system has made remarkable achievements. However, the large-scale influx of vocational college graduates into society has also brought new social adaptability issues. Moreover, the proportion of vocational college students participating in China's entrepreneurship and employment has been continuously increasing, but their overall entrepreneurial willingness is relatively low. Through this article, the author attempts to analyze the influencing factors of students' willingness to innovate and start businesses through entrepreneurship education projects in vocational colleges. Innovation and entrepreneurship project mentors should make full use of their research projects, drive student entrepreneurship teams to connect their research projects with entrepreneurial projects, transform research projects into achievements, and stimulate the growth of student entrepreneurship teams by tapping into the market potential of research projects. It has been observed that in China, innovation and entrepreneurship education often focuses more on cultivating students' entrepreneurial skills or providing financial support to teams in the later stages of entrepreneurship. Yet, it has not formed an effective innovation and entrepreneurship assistance education system. In the future process of entrepreneurship curriculum design, more efforts should be made to improve it.
