A longitudinal study on the effect of entrepreneurship courses taught at the vocational colleges in Turkey on students’ entrepreneurial tendency Abstract: In the current international context, it is important to maintain vocational and technical education by providing entrepreneurship qualities within the mission of raising median labor force, which is undertaken by vocational colleges. The aim of this study is to make a longitudinal assessment of the effect of entrepreneurship courses taught at vocational colleges on entrepreneurship tendency. According to the study findings, having entrepreneurship courses at vocational colleges does not allow students to gain sufficient entrepreneurship qualifications. However, students feel inspired to establish their own business and gain a consciousness of the fact that they should not leave their lives at the mercy of external factors. In order to ensure that students acquire entrepreneurship qualities through entrepreneurship courses and prefer entrepreneurship, it is necessary for this course to be taught as an applied course: students’ application performance must be included in the course assessment criteria; students must be given supervision support and a sense of making money on their own; and structural problems must be resolved.
