This study aims to analyze the influence of entrepreneurial knowledge and self-efficacy on entrepreneurial readiness of high school students in Mojokerto, with entrepreneurial intention as a mediator. The quantitative method used questionnaires from 351 12th-grade students and analyzed using SEM-PLS. The results showered that entrepreneurial knowledge and self-efficacy have a significant positive effect on entrepreneurial intention and readiness, while entrepreneurial intention strengthens the relationship as a mediating variable. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening entrepreneurship education in increasing students' self-confidence and readiness to build businesses, thereby encouraging the development of young generation entrepreneurship and contributing to economic growth.
