THE ROLE OF UNIVERSITIES
IN FOSTERING
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
 Currently, the development of entrepreneurship has become a leading topic in industrialized countries.
Entrepreneurship development through education and training has also increased in several universities in
indonesia. In this context, educated entrepreneurship is very important. The role of universities in motivating
students to become young entrepreneurs is very important in growing the number of entrepreneurs.
The role of higher education institutions in motivating students to become young entrepreneurs is very
important in growing the number of entrepreneurs. With the increase in entrepreneurship from among
undergraduates, it will reduce the increase in the number of unemployed and even increase the number of jobs.
The question is how universities can produce young entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship education in indonesia
still lacks adequate attention, both by the world of education and society. Many educators pay less attention to
the development of entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviors targeted by students, both in secondary schools and
in higher education. Their orientation, in general, is only on preparing workers.
 So many indonesian people do not know the definition of entrepreneurship, the
advantages of being an entrepreneur, the importance of the role of
entrepreneurship in reviving the indonesian economy. Many of the indonesian
people only know to work with other people or other countries, without the
thought of starting a new business on their own. In fact, according to research that
has been done, by mr. Nasib lohor, agency manager of PT prudential assurance
said, in indonesia, there are only 5% of entrepreneurs or entrepreneurs. This of
course cannot happen in the future in order to save entrepreneurs and also the
indonesian state itself.
 We as students can educate people to start entrepreneurship, such as creating UMKM that can
help open up more job opportunities. If many new UMKM emerge, it will boost the indonesian
economy and reduce unemployment
according to the chancellor of the syiah kuala university (unsyiah) darussalam banda aceh prof.
Samsul rizal said there are three main things that will build the entrepreneurial spirit of each
individual, namely creativity, innovation and independence. He said, in general, indonesia has
been oriented to become civil servants and only a few entrepreneurs. He also added that indonesia
is threatened with never progressing if the best graduates from universities only become civil
servants. He said, in general, the percentage of the number of entrepreneurs in indonesia was only
1.65 percent of the total population of indonesia, namely 254.9 million.
