INTRODUCTION

Being able to be an entrepreneur means a form of the process of creating new jobs with the

innovation of discovery and brilliant money sit to meet the needs of life in the long term

(Simanjuntak et al., 2021). The Minister of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises

revealed that Indonesia's entrepreneurship ratio is at the level of 3.74%. Malaysia, Singapore, and

Thailand are above the 4% number. At that time, some developed countries had an entrepreneurial

ratio of 12 percent. in handling this case, the government reached the act of using targeting

Indonesia must be able to increase the ratio. and use automatically obliged to build entrepreneurs,

so that the number exceeds workers (Ningsih, 2017). In this case, students are needed to reach the

crucial role.

Using this, to reduce the level of unemployment in Indonesia, citizens can take action by

forming graduates who not only have an orientation as job seekers but also have job makers or

who are claimed to be entrepreneurs (Hendarman, 2011). It would be an entrepreneurial person it

is impractical to do so. However, the government annually opens registration to become civil

servants, but some of those who apply to get what will happen that is not in sync because it does

not succeed in graduating. using the limited employment opportunities for college graduates in the

government sector can cause a shift in attention to employment opportunities in the particle sector,

but the requirement is very heavy applied sometimes forming students to work. In the private

sector, it is increasingly limited (Syaharuddin & Susanto, 2019). Sadly, we rarely see students who

have become scholars who are willing and brave to change their fate by starting their own struggle.

Though this is one way to increase the number of entrepreneurs so as to increase the ratio of

entrepreneurship in Indonesia. Such similarities, result in a high level of the labor force in the form

of educated unemployment. The number of college graduates every year is increasing. Such

conditions are not comparable to using increased availability of employment opportunities that

will accommodate them.

Some college graduate students target that the completion of their graduation must be able

to accept a job in a company with the spirit and knowledge to create something new creative and

innovative that they can through entrepreneurship courses. In fact, even though a student means a

graduate of college, it is not simple if a student is accepted into a job. The number of unemployed

people in Indonesia will increase. Therefore, a student is expected to foster the spirit and spirit of

entrepreneurship using creating creative ideas and innovations, and being able to utilize and follow

the rapid development of digital technology, as a result, will make it easier for a student to create

new jobs and produce a decrease in unemployment. The government and agencies are also very

supportive and participate in the spirit and spirit of entrepreneurship that can be instilled in a

student so that students are able to improve the Indonesian economy that is experiencing a crisis

or experiencing a drastic decline by taking an action to catch up with the lag earlier. as a result,

Indonesia can catch up with some countries that have populations. There are more entrepreneurs

than in Indonesia.

METHOD

This study uses examples of qualitative approaches. This research uses a type of narrative

qualitative research. The basis for which it is considered is that qualitative research methods are

more easily adjusted using the reality that is being studied. Data collection techniques use surveys

and interviews. Survey research is a research activity conducted by collecting data at exclusive

times, while there are three important goals, namely: first, using describing a natural state that is

biological at that time. Then the second, identify measurable with the current state of being

compared. The last means determining the relationship of something biological between special

incidents (Sugiyono, 2019). This research model is very often used by students in collecting

original data to describe a situation to the population. The subjects and research areas are students

of the Management Study Program at UINSU. The study was conducted from October 7 to

November 28, 2021.

meet around us.

Management at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra, the other error is by following the

learning on the curriculum related to entrepreneurship, in the form of being able to create new

products that will occur the work of students themselves. If there is only a will but does not have

the ability and knowledge, it will not produce a person be a successful entrepreneur. Support comes

from the family environment and the people more or less also greatly affect the interest of

entrepreneurship in someone, where the support can encourage someone to become an

entrepreneur.
