Eris Narulita Putri — 2026-06-06

The high rate of educated unemployment in Indonesia, especially among college graduates, is a challenge that requires real and sustainable solutions. One of the main factors is the gap between the number of graduates and the availability of relevant jobs. The Wirausaha Merdeka program is one solution to boost entrepreneurship among students. The implementation method employs a hands-on learning approach (learning by doing) comprising two main stages: the pre-immersion stage and the immersion stage (internship). The pre-immersion stage involves providing entrepreneurship-related materials. The immersion stage is conducted in collaboration with internship partners, where students gain practical experience in managing a business, followed by acceleration for business development, proposal pitching presentations, and an entrepreneurship expo. The results of the program indicate that students not only acquire knowledge and practical skills in entrepreneurship but also enhance their self-confidence, creativity, and build a beneficial business network for future business development. Thus, the Wirausaha Merdeka Program has a positive impact in reducing the rate of educated unemployment through the empowerment of students' entrepreneurial potential.

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the income of tea farmers in Dukuh Kayulawang, Mriyan Village, Boyolali Regency. Using a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis, the research is based on primary data collected from 31 tea farmers who are members of the Sekar Aji Farmer Group. The independent variables examined include the amount of fertilizer used, land area, years of experience as a general farmer, years of experience as a tea farmer, and level of education. The results of the analysis reveal that general farming experience and education level have a significant positive effect on tea farmers’ income. In contrast, the amount of fertilizer, land area, and years of experience as a tea farmer do not show a significant influence. These findings highlight the importance of broad farming experience and education in enhancing income, and underscore the need for improved efficiency and innovation in the management of tea farming. Relevant stakeholders are encouraged to focus on capacity-building efforts to help farmers increase their productivity and income.
