The article aims to shed light on the significance of entrepreneurial training and the role of opportunity perception among Algerian university
students after significant reforms in the higher education sector and implementing an innovation process recognizing the widely accepted notion
that entrepreneurship is a crucial driver of economic development. We examine the impact of entrepreneurial training and opportunity perception
on a sample of 228 students from Tlemcen University using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework and employing the Partial Least Squares
(PLS) method and the SMARTPLS v3 tool. The results indicate a positive and significant impact of entrepreneurship education and training on the
sample. Specifically, subjective norms and self-efficacy directly and indirectly influence the students’ entrepreneurial intentions. However, contrary to
expectations, the perception of opportunity did not significantly affect the sample. It also highlights the need for further exploration and innovation
in managerial education.
