The positive effect of students' exposure to entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship intention is well established in extant literature. Ghana is an example of an emerging country that has embraced entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial education to curb unemployment levels, especially among university graduates. However, countless university graduates especially in Ghana prefer seeking non-existent jobs rather than establishing their businesses. Therefore, this paper proposes a conceptual framework that highlights entrepreneurial competencies, social support, and business opportunities as essential factors that can potentially enhance the entrepreneurial intentions of university students, particularly fresh graduates. Specifically, we offer three propositions with the anticipation of generating fresh research interest for future studies in entrepreneurial intentions among university graduates. Understanding these driving forces leading to entrepreneurial intentions among young graduates is critical for effective entrepreneurship education and self-employment in Ghana and beyond.
