Malaysia's National Higher Education Strategic Plan 2030 aims to build entrepreneurial talent as a catalyst for the country's economy. High unemployment due to lack of experienced workers, increasing number of graduates and unstable economy. Community college student graduates in the field of entrepreneurship only reached 4.9%. The importance of the study aims to investigate the contribution of the theory of fostering entrepreneurial career choice. Education as a continuous effort attracts students to engage in it. An intensive literature review explores the qualitative research construct of interviews with three successful automotive entrepreneurs. Quantitative research involving 381 Malaysian community college students. The results of the study reveal that the perception of internal factors has a significant effect on the choice of entrepreneurship. Analysis of the survey data found the level of students' desire for entrepreneurial careers at a high level; the selection level of students' entrepreneurial careers at a medium-high level. The government and the private sector play a role in providing training, courses, loans and giving appropriate advice to graduates so that the issue of unemployment can be overcome. The government's efforts to break through nepotism with entrepreneurs to raise the standards and standard of business dealings of youth entrepreneurs.
