摘要:Purpose: The closest candidates for initiating new businesses are novices and apprentices raised in the hands of craftsmen. Novices and apprentices receive one-on-one mentoring and coaching service from their masters during the training process. Various supports are provided by KOSGEB for the establishment of an entrepreneurial culture in society and for giving coaching and mentoring services to professionals. It is important that mentors and coaches inform novices and apprentices about these supports and encourage them to entrepreneurship.

Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, explanatoryfactoranalysis, structural equation modelling and process named moderating variable analysis technique. Findings: According to there search findings, it was determined that coaching and mentoring had a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial intent. Pratical Implications: In there search, it was concluded that the coaches and mentors (masters) had great duties in the orientation of then ovices and apprentices to become entrepreneurs. Orjinality: The absence of a study investigating the effects of coaching and mentoring support on entrepreneurship intent reveals the original value of the study.
