Abstract
The aim of this study to explore and identify the factors that impact the entrepreneurial intentions of Somali graduate students. Past studies showed that nearly 69.4% of Somalian students were unemployed, compared to 21.9%who are employed, and only 8.7% were employed in the business. In this study, used 160 questionnaires to accomplish research aims. Multiple linear regression and descriptive statistics were employed to determine the association between dependent and independent variables. The study revealed that external and financial factors had a strong positive correlation with entrepreneurship as its p-value (0.02, 0.000) was less than 5% at a significant level. Moreover, the study revealed that the personal factors had a weak positive correlation with entrepreneurship, as P-Value =0.920. Thus, the study concluded that the model reasonably estimated challenges for Somali graduate students to become entrepreneurs. The study straggly recommended universities, with the collaboration of the government, to create a Centre of entrepreneurial guidance and to provide entrepreneurial courses and training for the final-year student to help junior alums to set up a new business.
