| dc.description.abstract | It has always been the interest of our government to promote entrepreneurship and new venture in business as a mean to enhance economic growth for the nation and creating jobs to help to solve the problem of unemployment. There are many university graduates that are languishing at home. Not all graduates are equal in the fierce battle for jobs. This study aimed to examine the impact of entrepreneurial education, role model and attitude on students’ entrepreneurial intentions in Addis Ababa University and also to determine the motivators, and obstacles to entrepreneurial intentions. The sample size for the study is 210 comprising of 164 males and 46 females. In the study, both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used. Primary data was obtained using questionnaires and Secondary data was also collected from books, journals, past research works, official documents and the internet. Simple random sampling was used to select proportional number of samples from the study area. Data were analysed using percentages, regression and correlation. . The study has also focused on examining how many Addis Ababa University students possess the entrepreneurial intention towards self-employment, how the relationship of demographic factors affecting their entrepreneurial intention. However, training and skill development programs are necessary to increase the personal capabilities and generate interest and intention among students to have positive attitudes towards entrepreneurship. This survey has also confirmed that the male persons at their prime age of 20-25 years old continue to be the most active group in terms of entrepreneurship and the role of entrepreneurial role models in the family has a positive effect on the entrepreneurial perception and intentions This paper suggests that there should be continuous effort to promote female entrepreneurship and continuous effort from university to work closely with a variety of business support agencies or other government agencies to raise students' awareness of various avenues of support and programs available to assist them in their business start-ups.
