This study also aspired to examine the significant effect between entrepreneurship skills and lecturers' competency. Besides, this also would like to see the mediating effect between 21st-century teaching and learning skills and the lecturers' competency. Structural Equation Model (SEM) was applied to test the effect on the variables using administrating questionnaires. A total of 316 respondents from Vocational & Technical College at Zhejiang, China completed the survey. The findings show that the mediating effect of 21st-century teaching and learning has a significant effect on entrepreneurship skills (estimated value 0.346, P-value of < 0.05), to boost up lecturers' competency (estimated value 0.782, P-value of < 0.05) in teaching entrepreneurship modules. Meanwhile, the direct influence of entrepreneurship skills and lecturers' competency has no significant effect on each other (estimated value of 0.074, P-value > 0.05). The result of this study shows that there is a complete mediation effect between entrepreneurship skills and 21st-century teaching and learning skills and lecturers' competency.
