<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the influence of internship programs, entrepreneurship training, and kyai support on students' entrepreneurial intentions and test the role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy as a mediator variable in the context of pesantren education. The study is positioned as a cross-sectional explanatory survey using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to reflect the direct and indirect effects, based on a sample of students from the Bahrul Maghfiroh Islamic boarding school in Malang and the Nurul Kholil and Nurul Amanah schools in Madura, comprising a total sample of 350 respondents. Participants were selected using purposive sampling with the following criteria: active students, have exposure to entrepreneurship programs, entrepreneurship training, or activities of relevant Islamic boarding school business units, and are willing to participate voluntarily. The determination of sample size is supported by a priori power analysis using G*Power, considering the number of predictors, significance level, statistical power, and effect size. The reported structural results indicate that all three exogenous variables positively predict entrepreneurial intention and self-efficacy. Entrepreneurship training shows the strongest total effect on entrepreneurial intention (β = 0.41), followed by internship experience (β = 0.35) and kyai support (β = 0.28). Self-efficacy also emerges as a substantive predictor of entrepreneurial intention (β = 0.35) and partially mediates the effects of all exogenous variables. The study contributes by integrating experiential learning, social cognitive theory, and pesantren-based leadership support into a single model of santri entrepreneurship.]]>
