ABSTRACT
The study entitled “Readiness of ABM 12 Students with Regards to Their Entrepreneurial Mindset” focuses on students and their readiness in terms of financial literacy, decision-making, risk management, and entrepreneurial motivation. The readiness of Grade 12 students under the ABM strand is the issue tackled. A descriptive correlational design using survey questionnaires among selected students gathered data that shows their level of readiness and the kind of guidance they required in pursuing entrepreneurship. ABM students are generally motivated and capable of recognizing opportunities, valuing leadership and teamwork in business settings. The said ABM students are also aware that they have to undergo certain preparation for pursuing entrepreneurship and that these have to be considered for future business endeavors. The study revealed that ABM students are moderately ready in terms of financial literacy, problem-solving, creativity, and communication. The study also revealed that students face various challenges in pursuing entrepreneurship such as limited resources, lack of experiential learning, and low confidence in handling real-world business situations. The study recommends that teachers and school administrators should provide guidance and mentorship to students in preparing for entrepreneurship. The findings of the study can help improve the entrepreneurial preparation of students. The study also recommends that the school should provide programs and activities that will help students become more prepared for entrepreneurship. The study also recommends that students reflect on their personal goals and actively participate in community-based initiatives to strengthen their entrepreneurial readiness.
