The Role of Personal Characteristics on the Entrepreneurial Competence of the Senior High School TVL Students

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

Technical Vocational and Livelihood Education (TVL) has been described as the most effective way to transform the workplace, reduce poverty, enhance the economy, and improve the quality of life for everyone worldwide. Previous studies have highlighted the essence of entrepreneurship in alleviating poverty (Cudia et al., 2019; Gozun & Rivera, 2017). There is a lack of detailed research on the specific entrepreneurial competencies of Senior High Technical-Vocational-Livelihood students in District II, Division of Quezon City. Addressing the gap in understanding how demographic factors shape entrepreneurial skills, the study aims to assess key competencies and identify significant differences based on personal attributes. Using a quantitative-descriptive research design, the study involved 348 senior high school students from District II public schools in Quezon City. Findings indicate that students demonstrated high competence in the Achievement Cluster. However, competencies under the Planning Cluster received the lowest ratings. These findings highlight the role of personal characteristics in shaping students' entrepreneurial potential.
