Abstract

Empirical facts show that the number of university graduates from time to time has increased significantly, while the absorption capacity of the labor market is very small. As a result, the open unemployment rate in Indonesia is quite high, reaching 9-10% and this includes the unemployed educated college alumni. To overcome the high level of educated unemployment, it is deemed necessary to foster entrepreneurship among students. There are five main essences in entrepreneurship, namely: (1) a strong will to work independently, have bright ideas, and be optimistic in business, develop new, unique ideas, attract many people, especially in the economic field; (2) the ability to take risks and make decisions; (3) willingness to think and act creatively and innovatively; (4) willingness to work carefully, diligently and productively; (5) work with the spirit of togetherness and sound business ethics. Various efforts that can be taken to develop entrepreneurship among students are: (1) entrepreneurship courses are included in the curriculum of each study program in tertiary institutions which are curricularly mandatory for all students; (2) the development of an Integrated Work Learning Program, which is an educational program that combines studying and working like employees in the world, especially for final year students; (3) cooperation with MSMEs; (4) establishment of Student Cooperatives; and (5) the implementation of student side work either in accordance with their field of knowledge or according to their talents and hobbies even though it is not in accordance with their field of knowledge.
