Risks Associated With the Entrepreneurship Education During the Pandemic

The paper aims to investigate the perceptual displays of UAE business students on selecting entrepreneurship education as a career option along with challenges faced in the present pandemic situation. The study collected the opinions of 500 business program students from different universities in the UAE by administering questionnaires and personal interviews. Then, the compiled data were encapsulated and inscribed using Software R Studio and Microsoft Excel. The study emphasized that UAE business pupils are not concerned about selecting entrepreneurship as their career option during the pandemic due to the risks involved. Mobilizing capital, uncertainty, and risk of failure impede the UAE business students from becoming entrepreneurs during the pandemic. On the other hand, the empirical evidence indicates that entrepreneurship education is vital to motivating students' professional preferences. Therefore, higher education institutions must play a pivotal role in promoting entrepreneurship as another career option.
