Abstract

Aim: it
aims to identify the concept of entrepreneurship and to measure perception of
entrepreneurship with university students such as entrepreneurship,
opportunities of entrepreneurship, incentives of entrepreneurship, and
training.



Method:
A qualitative research was done in this study, and 32 students were
interviewed. Interviews were conducted with a total of four subjects of
students, and eight students have been selected from each division.

Findings: As a result of research carried out some basic problems have
been identified such as lack of entrepreneurial knowledge conceptually, lack of
courses for entrepreneurship in schools, lack of entrepreneurial opportunities,
and insufficient information about the entrepreneurship incentives and training
outside the school.
