This is due to the increasing numbers of unemployed graduates in Malaysia. The study conducted by Centre of Students?

This will ultimately contribute to more job creators instead of job seekers.Keywords: Graduate Entrepreneur, Entrepreneurship, Graduate EmployabilityJEL Classifications: A23, J64, L26
