DETERMINING STUDENTS' INTEREST IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP: AN ENTREPRENEURSHIP TRAINING AND FINANCIAL LITERACY PERSPECTIVE
Abstract
His study aims to analyze the effect of entrepreneurship training and financial literacy on the entrepreneurial interest of STIE APRIN Palembang students. The background of this study is based on the importance of producing graduates who are not only academically competent but also have the readiness to face economic challenges through entrepreneurship. STIE APRIN, as an institution that upholds the values of "Smart, Quality, and Entrepreneurship," has a strategic role in fostering entrepreneurial spirit among students. This study uses a quantitative approach with a purposive sampling technique, involving 100 active students as respondents. The instrument used is a closed questionnaire with a Likert scale. Data analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression. The results show that entrepreneurship training has a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial interest with a coefficient of 0.428. Financial literacy also shows a significant positive effect with a coefficient of 0.376. Simultaneously, both variables contribute to entrepreneurial interest with an R-square value of 0.581. These findings emphasize the important role of training and financial literacy in shaping students' readiness and courage to start a business. The implications of this research encourage the development of an applicable entrepreneurship curriculum and the integration of financial education in the learning process.
