Abstract: This review critically examines the focus and strategies used by Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Malaysia for lowering unemployment among university graduates while also critically analyzing Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Malaysia's focus and tactics for raising the competency level of its graduates. One factor that can boost a nation's economic growth is entrepreneurship. By producing jobs, it could lower the rate of intellectual unemployment among recent graduates of higher education. Numerous studies have demonstrated the impact of higher education on students' decisions to pursue entrepreneurship as a career by inspiring and molding their character and perspective. The purpose of this paper is to review the strategic policy models that Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Malaysia Education has taken to foresee problems with graduate unemployment. The issue this study faces is that students from different fields have different knowledge and skill sets, and not all students are required to pursue entrepreneurship. Higher education is supposed to be able to take proactive measures to close these disparities by guaranteeing that all students have the opportunity to pursue entrepreneurship as a career or area of interest. The findings of this conceptual review suggest that universities should adopt a more inclusive and strategic approach to entrepreneurship development across all faculties, not just business or technology-based disciplines. For policymakers and educational planners, the study provides a foundation to strengthen entrepreneurship education, improve institutional support systems, and ensure equitable access to entrepreneurial resources such as funding, mentorship, and incubation. For UiTM specifically, these insights can guide the refinement of current strategies to ensure that all students—regardless of background are equipped with the competencies and mindset to pursue entrepreneurship as a viable career pathway.
