Entrepreneurship is currently the center of attention of various parties because it has a contribution to economic development that can be used to overcome the problem of the gap between job opportunities and the available workforce for young people.

For this purpose, using a sample of 269 students majoring in education last year at the Sebelas Maret University. Using structured questionnaire in data collection, and tested with SPSS. the results obtained from the collected data indicate that social capital has a direct and indirect influence on entrepreneurial intentions through self-efficacy.
