Program pengembangan kewirausahaan Universitas Ahmad Dahlan pada masa pandemi

Abstract

The Entrepreneurship Development Program (PPK) at Ahmad Dahlan University aims to produce entrepreneurs from students and alumni of Ahmad Dahlan University based online (Online Business). These programs and themes are very appropriate to the conditions of the Covid Pandemic which demand less contact-based business activities. This program is expected to produce new entrepreneurs with information technology as the basis for their competitive advantage. This program was implemented by UAD lecturers and involved
business practitioners and other institutions as well as the business community outside Ahmad Dahlan University. The infrastructure suggestions given by Ahmad Dahlan University in running this program are offices, business laboratories in the form of bazaars, canteens and business rooms. In addition, UAD has a special unit that aims to organize business incubations for students called the Office of Business Affairs and Innovation (KUBI).

Through the PPK, it is hoped that this entrepreneurial service unit will be able to run in a sustainable manner which eventually transforms into a professional and independent profit unit. The pattern used in PPK at UAD uses the Experience Learning (EL) approach. This approach broadly provides treatment for students to gain experience, competence and basic characteristics of entrepreneurs. The programs provided in the UAD PPK are in the form of management training and business skills for tenants, training on the use of information technology, and facilitating tenants in entrepreneurship so as to create new entrepreneurs who are reliable and have competitive advantages.
