Abstract


Due to its ability to stimulate innovation, job creation, and economic progress, entrepreneurship education is essential to the development of a nation.  But traditional methods tend to prioritize theory over practice, which leaves students unprepared for the needs of a technologically advanced market. This study explores how strengthening entrepreneurial intention, encouraging innovation, and improving skill development in the US can be achieved through the use of information technologies into entrepreneurship education.  This study intends to update teaching strategies and enhance learning results by utilizing cloud-based solutions, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and e-learning platforms. The study will assess the efficacy of these digital tools by combining web articles, current literature, and a review of pertinent case studies using a qualitative methodology.  While qualitative insights will direct the creation of a scalable framework for application in educational institutions, quantitative analysis will assess their influence on entrepreneurial skills and intentions. It is anticipated that the results will offer practical suggestions for incorporating digital technologies into entrepreneurship curricula, giving students the skills they need to spur innovation and support economic resilience.  By fostering workforce development, advancing fair access to education, and boosting American competitiveness abroad in an increasingly digital economy, our study supports national interests.
