Design/Methodology/ Approach: Based on the research objectives and the hypothesis formulated the study opted for a cross-sectional research design. A sample of 55 Diploma students was purposively selected. The eligibility criteria of this selection were based on those students who were fortunate enough to be trained in an entrepreneurial mindset transformation course that was done for three months in collaboration with Small Industry Development Organization (SIDO). A questionnaire was administered to obtain data for the analysis whereby a multiple regression model was used and six hypotheses were tested to assess the empirical relationship among variables. Findings: The study revealed that the students’ attitude, perceived control behaviours, job security and innovativeness toward entrepreneurial related issues were significant at a 5% level on students' intentions to take part in entrepreneurial activities. Research Limitation/Implication: This study was restricted to a small selected sample of students who undertook the entrepreneurial mindset transformation training at the college of business education. Practical Implication: This particular study catalyzes colleges and universities to inculcate entrepreneurial mindset shift through training, funding of start-ups and exposure to practical business environment settings that will eventually shape and transform the entrepreneurial attitude of students in Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) in Tanzania. Social Implications: Higher Learning Institutions should engage with financial institutions to build such platforms so that students are aware of the available resources and financial possibilities for them to explore if they ever decide to start a business. Originality/Value: This study evaluates the link between entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurial intent of students from the College of Business Education in Mwanza Tanzania.enBehaviour theory; Entrepreneurial; Intention; Motivation; StudentsArticle
