This article is aimed at those Chinese vocational colleges looking for advice, ideas and inspiration for the effective entrepreneurship mentoring. At present, entrepreneurship education in vocational college is relatively lagging behind. Colleges should provide services and security for the students to achieve entrepreneurial success. Entrepreneurial coaching appears to be a sufficiently customized way to help novice owner-managers develop their managerial skills. However, its usefulness remains to be verified. The research is thus to examine the effectiveness of coaching as a support measure for young entrepreneurs and to identify the factors likely to have an impact on the success of coaching initiatives.
