I. INTRODUCTION
The National Labor Force Survey in 2018 shows that the unemployment rate in Indonesia is currently the majority filled by the workforce with high school/vocational education at 52.3% and higher education consisting of undergraduates at 10, 42%.[1] This condition is really ironic considering that the demands of entrepreneurship must be high, it is even higher for graduates to become unemployed.
The results of research conducted by Allen in 2016 proved that a third of the unemployed, especially at a young age, had to wait one year to enter the labor market, especially entering work in the formal sector such as private employees or civil servants [2]. Therefore, universities as graduates must be able to build awareness in entrepreneurship. One way is to strengthen entrepreneurship at the student level so that when they graduate they are able to build entrepreneurship and not depend on one job.
The option currently being developed by the government is through entrepreneurship, this alternative can be chosen by education students to continue their post-graduate career from campus. In reality, there are still very few educational students
