Seminar Kewirausahaan Sebagai Upaya Menumbuhkan Jiwa Dan Minat Berwirausaha Masyarakat Di Kelurahan Karijawa, Kecamatan Dompu, Kabupaten Dompu

Abstract

Karijawa Urban Village is one of the areas in Dompu District, Dompu Regency, which has considerable productive-age human resources, particularly among young people and small business owners. However, the community’s interest and knowledge in entrepreneurship remain relatively low, resulting in a tendency among many community members to seek employment rather than create their own job opportunities. This activity aimed to increase the knowledge, motivation, and entrepreneurial interest of the Karijawa Urban Village community through the implementation of an entrepreneurship seminar. The activity was conducted using a participatory approach consisting of preparation, socialization, seminar implementation through presentations by speakers, discussion and question-and-answer sessions, and activity evaluation. The target participants were members of the Karijawa Urban Village community, particularly young people and small business owners interested in developing their potential in the field of entrepreneurship. The results of the activity indicated an improvement in participants’ understanding of basic entrepreneurship concepts, business opportunity identification, and simple business management strategies. In addition, participants demonstrated increased motivation and confidence to initiate their own businesses. The entrepreneurship seminar proved to be an effective means of increasing entrepreneurial knowledge and enthusiasm among the community. Through this activity, it is expected that new entrepreneurs will emerge who are able to create business opportunities and contribute to the sustainable economic development of Karijawa Urban Village.
