In the digital era, e-commerce has developed not only as a platform for buying and selling activities but also as a strategic medium for marketing and business development. University students theoretically possess strong potential to become edupreneurs because they are closely connected to technology and supported by higher education environments. Nevertheless, the reality at Al-Amien Prenduan University indicates that students tend to act more as consumers in e-commerce rather than as entrepreneurs. This condition creates a gap between theoretical expectations and practical implementation, raising questions regarding the effectiveness of e-commerce in encouraging students’ entrepreneurial spirit. This study examines strategies for strengthening Edupreneurship graduates through the optimization of e-commerce. The research specifically explores ways to maximize e-commerce in supporting the development of Edupreneurship graduate profiles and improving graduates’ competitiveness in entrepreneurship and employment sectors. A qualitative approach with a case study method was employed at Al-Amien Prenduan University. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving female students of the Islamic Education Edupreneurship program who actively engage in entrepreneurial activities through e-commerce platforms. The findings reveal that optimizing e-commerce can be achieved through identifying students’ digital competencies and needs, as well as utilizing flexible technologies that support broader market access and global transactions. In addition, strategies such as enhancing digital marketing creativity, strengthening market research capabilities, and understanding consumer behavior significantly contribute to entrepreneurial development. The study concludes that e-commerce effectively fosters entrepreneurial attitudes, adaptability, and competitiveness among students in facing the challenges of the digital economy.

Indonesia still faces serious challenges in the employment sector, marked by a relatively high unemployment rate. One group contributing to the highest unemployment rate are vocational high school (SMK) graduates, who, ironically, are prepared to enter the workforce directly. This high unemployment rate indicates a gap between graduate competencies and the needs of the workforce, as well as a lack of mental readiness and entrepreneurial skills. One strategic solution to address this problem is to encourage young people, particularly vocational high school students, to become entrepreneurs. In this context, entrepreneurial practices and income expectations are two important variables believed to increase entrepreneurial interest among students. This study aims to examine the contribution of entrepreneurial practices and income expectations in increasing entrepreneurial interest among vocational high school students. The research method used was quantitative, with primary data collection through an online survey. The instrument used was an online questionnaire compiled using a Likert scale and distributed through Google Forms. Respondents in this study were 188 vocational high school students selected using a proportional random sampling technique based on the Taro Yamane table, so that the data obtained can proportionally represent the population. Data analysis was performed using Smart PLS (Partial Least Squares) software. The analysis results show that entrepreneurial practices have a positive and significant direct effect on income expectations. Furthermore, entrepreneurial practices also have a positive and significant direct effect on entrepreneurial interest. Income expectations were found to have a positive and significant direct effect on entrepreneurial interest. Furthermore, entrepreneurial practices were also found to have an indirect effect on entrepreneurial interest through income expectations as a mediating variable. These findings emphasize the importance of implementing concrete and structured entrepreneurial practices in the vocational high school curriculum.
