Entrepreneurship is a field that offers career opportunities. The effort to create a generation that chooses entrepreneurship as a career requires graduates to have entrepreneurial readiness. The diversity of graduates makes the demand and supply in the job sector unbalanced. In addition, graduates are less exposed to the potential of an entrepreneurial career, making this field not the main choice for their career. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the influence of entrepreneurial readiness such as attitude, learning, and spirituality on the choice of entrepreneurial career among UKM Bangi graduate students, Selangor. The design of the quantitative study using a survey method of a questionnaire which involved a sample of 375 students consisting of the National University of Malaysia graduates of Bangi which students from semester one to six semesters was randomly selected. The findings of this study show that the entrepreneurial readiness of UKM graduate students is very high, but the selection of student entrepreneurship careers is modest. While entrepreneurial readiness for entrepreneurial career choice among SME graduates has a huge impact.
