Technological developments cause huge challenges and threats to humans so humans must actively adapt and solve problems. Industrial Revolution 4.0 is a real form of the presence of various problems if they don’t have competence in one field. Many layoffs and termination of cooperation, but also presents a new form of work with new expertise that causes the world of education must prepare graduates who have competence and entrepreneurial spirit to be independent. This qualitative research was conducted at a vocational high school by interviewing grade XI students. As many as 81.48% of students prepare themselves cognitively by learning in their preferred field. 7.4% of students stated that they had been directly involved in entrepreneurship. Besides that, 77.78% of students don’t have entrepreneurial family backgrounds. It can be concluded, the readiness of students' entrepreneurship has existed in the form of improving their knowledge, but hasn’t been directly involved in entrepreneurship.
