Abstract

This article aims to analyze the strategic contribution and systematic implementation of education in fostering independent, creative, and highly competitive entrepreneurial character among the younger generation. The method employed in this article is a literature review, which compiles and synthesizes various reputable national and international scientific literature sources. The first result demonstrates that integrating a transformative entrepreneurship curriculum can increase financial independence and sharpen students' innovative creativity. The second result demonstrates that a collaborative and adaptive technology-based learning ecosystem is key to boosting graduates' competitiveness in the global market. The novelty of this article lies in its conceptual proposal regarding the integration of local independence values with 21st-century digital competencies within an integrated entrepreneurship learning model. This holistic model is the key differentiation that distinguishes this study from previous research, which tends to focus solely on theoretical aspects without addressing adaptive character reconstruction.
