Summary :	Entrepreneurship curriculum has been implemented in recent years in Malaysian vocational colleges as a platform to expose school leavers to entrepreneurship skills and provide them the basic know-how needed to engage in an entrepreneurial career. Among this knowledge is written communication which involves the skill of preparing the necessary documents and correspondence in a start-up business. However, research findings indicate that very little is known about Malaysian vocational college graduates’ competency in this area after completing the entrepreneurship course. Moreover, existing studies show significant weaknesses or a lack of competency in communication skills, including writing among our graduates. This study aims to explore the implementation of written communication components taught in the entrepreneurship course in Malaysian vocational colleges by examining its curriculum content and teaching approaches utilised in the course. The study applied the qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews and document analysis to gather the data. 15 instructors from 10 vocational colleges located throughout Peninsular Malaysia participated in the interviews.
