Growing awareness of the need for inspiring youth enterprise has emerged recently.

The impact of EQ and entrepreneurship education on the motivation to start a business is the focus of this research. We analyzed 300 graduate students taking business courses to see how these factors influenced their intentions to launch their businesses. Results showed that students with higher levels of emotional intelligence and entrepreneurship education had greater aspirations of starting their firms. Conversely, pupils with lower levels of emotional intelligence are less likely to plan to launch their venture
