Introduction
Unemployment is a problem that must immediately be addressed to reduce the poverty level
of a country. The current unemployment is not only unemployment caused by the lack of a
person's education but also unemployment increases due to a large number of university
graduates who are not offset by available employment opportunities. For this reason, there are
currently many universities offering study programs by conducting entrepreneurship education.
