Abstract: Nowadays, young people are more familiar with the use of computers, different applications and ICT (Information Communication Technology) tools available on the Web. Approach to different resources on the Web offers them various possibilities for the creation of their own business and supports the realization of their entrepreneurial intention. In our study, we analyzed entrepreneurial intention of students enrolled in one higher education institution in Slovenia in two consecutive study years (2014/2015 and 2015/2016). We also analyzed the usage of ICT tools for acquisition of additional knowledge and skills needed for the creation of new companies and new working places to enhance the employability of young people and students. In the study, we also focused on the level of knowledge, personal skills, needs and availability of different ICT tools, all of which depend on various factors (e.g. computers, internet connection). In the study, we found out that young people understand the current economic situation, and from that mainly generate their entrepreneurial intention. We found out that they mostly use ICT tools which are free of charge and easy to use such as E-classroom, E-books, Social Media and the Internet.
