Abstract
The majority would opt to seek employment in the private sector rather than pursue their entrepreneurial careers despite the efforts exerted by higher educational institutions to promote an entrepreneurial mindset among business students. This descriptive-correlational study aimed to determine how entrepreneurship traits and innovative cognitive style drive entrepreneurship career intention among the 300 business college students in Davao Del Norte who were chosen through a stratified sampling technique. The researcher used adapted survey questionnaires for data generation. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results indicated that the level of entrepreneurship traits and the level of innovativecognitive style are always manifested, while the level of entrepreneurship career intention is very evident. On the other hand, it was found in the regression analysis that innovative-cognitive style stands as the strongest driver of business college students' entrepreneurial career intention in a singular capacity. Moreover, the variation equivalent to 73 percent could be attributed to other factors not covered in this study.
