ABSTRACT:
The aim of the paper is to assess the entrepreneurial intention among the students of Sunyani
Polytechnic, and also to determine the motivators, and obstacles to entrepreneurial intentions.
The study is based on quantitative exploratory survey design. The sample size for the study is
136 comprising of 94 males and 42 females, who were selected by convenient sample method.
Primary data were obtained using self designed questionnaire which were administered by the
researchers. Data were analysed using percentages, One-way ANOVA. Results indicated that
there is high entrepreneurial intention among the respondents. It was also revealed that there are
important motivators for intention as well as obstacles to setting up ones firm. The finding again
indicated that demographic variables such as gender, age, religion affect responses given by
respondents. It is recommended that, future research must be done in the public and private
universities to provide support for these findings and also entrepreneurial education must be
introduced into the tertiary institutions which are not currently offering entrepreneurship courses.
