The Chief of Entrepreneurship Laboratory (KWU) FEB UNS Prof. Asri Laksmi Riani explained that the training will be held until November 2021 with offline training in two classrooms and through the Zoom Cloud Meeting for online participants. “The activities started with the recruitment of entrepreneurship training from faculty members of each program in FEB,” Prof. Asri Laksmi Riani explained. After the recruitment, the laboratory conducted Training of Trainer (ToT) by inviting several speakers. “We also prepared the modules, implemented the training, prepared business proposal, presentation, assistance, and evaluation,” she added.

In this training, the KWU Laboratory UNS prepared 18 instructors and eight academic staff to help 29 student participants, 24 attended the training offline, and 5 attended the training online. The students were grouped into six groups who could choose from three business sectors, fashion, culinary, and handicraft. “Hopefully, several students could start new startups, and this activity is a pilot project for the future programs,” Prof. Asri Laksmi Riani said.

Praises

The Chief of Academic and Student Affairs Bureau of UNS, Drs. Rohman Agus Pratomo warmly welcomed the Startup Entrepreneurship Training held by KWU Laboratory FEB UNS. He stated that this kind of training could encourage students to be brave in competing, both at the university and national levels. He added that the training could train students to be willing to open a business so that they could be job creators instead of job seekers after graduating.

“KWU activities are started from now, next year students participate in university competition, and at the national level. Prepare an exciting business plan, implement, and develop (it) to attract friends, neighbors, and others. This will bring pride for the institution,” Drs. Rohman Agus Pratomo stated.

Supporting Drs. Rohman Agus Pratomo, Vice-Dean for Academic, Research, and Student Affairs FEB UNS, Prof. Izza Mafruhah, also appreciated the training. In her opening remark, Prof. Izza Mafruhah stated that UNS is committed to supporting its graduates to obtain an appropriate job. Besides, she also wants that student to apply their knowledge through entrepreneurship or further studies. “University has eight duties to achieve IKU, including graduates with an appropriate job or being entrepreneur, or continuing their study. In Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM), one of the programs is KWU to encourage students to be graduates that create jobs,” Prof. Izza Mafruhah stated. Humas UNS

Fiska, her nickname, submitted a poster titled “The Importance of Entrepreneurship Spirit for Millennials through the Creation of Creative Product” that represents Aection 3.0 theme Creative Generation in Economic Development for Bright Indonesia. Fiska said that she is delighted with these achievements because she could share her thought on the entrepreneurship sector that she focuses on.

“Alhamdulillah, I am happy because (I) could share my ideas and hopes in a poster. It was a coincidence that the theme is in line with my background as an entrepreneur,” Fiska said to uns.ac.id team on Wednesday (13/10/2021).

The student from Sragen District, Central Java, started her brownies production in 2017 that she branded as Bronislur. Her business is a success story that generated significant income amid the Covid-19 pandemic and won funding from the Entrepreneurial Student Program of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemdikbudristek). Her experiences as an entrepreneur moved her to create the poster and shared information, tips, and tricks of working as an entrepreneur in the poster. Through her work, Fiska also invited millennials to be entrepreneurs by utilizing their social media. She hoped that her poster could be encouraged to be an entrepreneur like her.

“I hope this poster could increase millennials’ spirits to contribute to the Indonesia development by becoming a young entrepreneur. So, are we ready to be a millennial who takes part in accelerating Indonesian economic growth?” she said.

First Win

This achievement is Fiska’s first time winning a poster competition after participating in many similar competitions. With her relentless efforts and tenacity, Fiska finally won her recent poster competition. “This is the first time I won a poster competition this year after failed ten times. I am not art major student, so creating a poster is just a fad, and I often lose in the poster competition. Alhamdulillah, the first time I won two categories at the same time, 2^nd place and favorite poster,” she said.

Although this is her first winning poster competition, Fiska has won many other competitions such as 1^st place in National MSMEs Competition held by Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB), 2^nd place in National MSMEs Digital Based Business Innovation held by Institut Teknologi Kalimantan, 2^nd place in the National Infographics Competition held by Universitas Islam Negeri Yogyakarta, 2^nd place in the National Business Plan Competition held by UNS, and 2^nd place in the National Digital Innovation Competition held by UNS Fintech Center.
