Abstract

The offering of entrepreneurial spirit and skills is geared towards the development of initiatives towards work opportunity development and job creation. The avoidance of secularization and cultural heritage adherence of peoples in the countryside towards cultural pluralism in entrepreneurship is paramount to revitalizing the world’s entrepreneurial education. This study is designed to determine the essential enterprising skills of hospitality management students. Employing the descriptive-comparative research design to 155 hospitality management students, the following were known: the concordances of the hospitality management students to essential enterprising skills are not optimized. Moreover, comparable results on the respondents’ general enterprising skills were known when grouped by their sex, residence, and curriculum year. It was concluded that essential enterprising skills were seeded among the respondents but needed to be cultivated and developed to optimize their participation on job development and creation.
