The application of entrepreneurship to the younger generation needs to be implemented first to stimulate the world of entrepreneurship in the future. Thus, the majority of countries use education as one of the mediums to foster entrepreneurial attitudes and entrepreneurial career aspirations in generation Z in particular. Various entrepreneurial programs and activities have been implemented at the community college level to attract students. Therefore, this study aims to identify the level and relationship of entrepreneurial attitude towards the entrepreneurial career aspirations of generation Z in community colleges in the Johor zone. A total of 340 Johor zone community college students were randomly selected as respondents for this study. This study has applied the Theory of Planned Behavior according to Azjen (1991) which explains human behavior. This study uses a descriptive quantitative design by using the survey method. CVI expert validity results have shown that the validity value of the measured items is high where the mean expert proportion is 0.99 and it measures what is to be measured. A questionnaire was constructed as a data collection instrument and distributed online. The results of data analysis report that the level of entrepreneurial attitude of students in Johor zone community colleges is at a high level. Meanwhile, the entrepreneurial career aspirations of Johor zone community college students are also at a high level. Meanwhile, the Pearson correlation analysis made on entrepreneurial attitudes and entrepreneurial career aspirations also shows that there is a significant relationship between entrepreneurial attitudes and entrepreneurial career aspirations. Through the findings of this study, the Johor zone community colleges especially need to ensure that the entrepreneurial ecosystem is expanded and involves all parties. Exposure to entrepreneurial activities during studies is very helpful in fostering students' interest in venturing into the field of entrepreneurship.
