Entrepreneurship education and business financial management have become essential for vocational students due to increasing economic demands and competitive labor markets. This study aims to describe the implementation of entrepreneurship education and financial literacy for students of SMK AKBAR Pekanbaru in 2026 which was designed to enhance their understanding of business concepts and basic financial management skills. This research employed a descriptive method with data collected through activity observations, short questionnaires, documentation, and student interviews. The findings indicate that students showed strong interest in entrepreneurship materials and were able to understand basic concepts such as business opportunities and planning while in financial aspects they demonstrated the ability to record simple transactions although some still required guidance. The discussion suggests that practice-based learning approaches are more effective than conventional lectures because they provide direct experience in managing entrepreneurial and financial tasks. This study concludes that entrepreneurship and financial education significantly contribute to improving students’ competencies therefore similar programs should be continued and expanded with more advanced materials and varied learning strategies.
