The statistical population included all experts and faculty members in the field of entrepreneurship education, trainers and technical and professional managers in the city of Tehran.

Data analysis was done using the structural equation approach to measure the fit of the model and the relationships between the structures in it. The results showed that personality traits, the content of educational programs, educational methods, educational models, abilities, and competencies of coaches and participatory managerial approaches are related to entrepreneurial skills training. There is also a relationship between infrastructure, government support, the relationship between the technical and vocational education system and industry, the entrepreneurial ecosystem's support for trainees, economic factors, the validity of technical and vocational certifications, and the mass media view of entrepreneurial ability.
