1 INTRODUCTION

Unemployment becomes a serious problem in

Indonesia that is still difficult to overcome. The

government program to reduce unemployment has

not been able to significantly reduce the

unemployment. The reason is that the large

population and growing population are not

accompanied by increased employment. By 2016,

open unemployment according to the highest

education is still high. It can be said that

unemployment is happening to the educated

population.

The datataken from www.bps.go.id accessed on

13th December 2017 (Primary education completed

in 2016 1.787.863 people, junior secondary school at

1,237,248 people, general high school 1.439.345

people, vocational high school 1,239,665 soul,

Diploma I, II, III/ Academy 23,104 people, at the

university level 652.478 people, shows that the

overall number of high open unemployment rate in

2016 is 5,240,774 people.

An undergraduate educated unemployment rate

is also feared that they will continue to increase if

college as an undergraduate printing institution does

not have the ability to lead learners. The low

motivation in entrepreneurship of the young

generation in Indonesia is now being a serious

dutyof various parties, both government, education,

industry, and society. This phenomenon further adds

to the burden of the government in reducing the

unemployment.

One solution to overcome unemployment in

Indonesia is to create entrepreneurship. They will

assist the government in creating new jobswith

entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs contribute the state

economy through resulting tax. Entrepreneur can be

started through entrepreneurship Education taught in

college, but it will be faster if entrepreneurship

education begins to be applied from families,

communities and educational institutions. Basically,

the training can be used as a bridge for people to a

better life. Entrepreneurship education is expected to

generate entrepreneurial spirit, self-reliance, work

and develop national economy (Jamal Ma'mur

Asmani, 2011).

Entrepreneurship training is also expected to

create creative entrepreneurs who can create jobs

and can help reduce unending unemployment.

Entrepreneurship education not only provides a

theoretical foundation on the concept of

entrepreneurship but shapes the attitudes, behavior,

and mindset of an entrepreneur. It is a capital

investment to prepare students in starting a new

business through the integration of essential

experience, skills and knowledge to develop and

expand a business.

The younger generation is the main target of the

Entrepreneurship education program. Various efforts

are made to cultivate the spirit of entrepreneurship,

especially by changing the mindset of the young

generation who has been interested only as job

seekers (job seeker) when they later finish their

lecture. Supporting training for after-education of

entrepreneurship has not been done by many

universities In this case; students in non-educational

colleges are also required to receive entrepreneurial

training in detail and thoroughly. Entrepreneurship

training will encourage students to start recognizing

and opening up businesses. Looking at the

phenomenon occurs, the educated labor force

college graduates are increasing in number every

year. The average student has not planned a job after

graduating from college.

Faculty of Economics of Islamic University of

North Sumatera Medan provides entrepreneurship

education and also implements entrepreneurship

training where education is given for half semesters

and half semesters is continued with

entrepreneurship training and is included in the

curriculum requiring Faculty of Economics students

to continue their education with entrepreneurship

training. The course is applied in the form of theory

and practice of entrepreneurship. Theory of

entrepreneurship is given in the classroom before the

student plunges into entrepreneurship, whereas the

practical work through the Students’ Creativity Unit

of Economic faculty of UISU is managed by the

lecturers of entrepreneurship courses and senior

students or alumni who had previously plunged into

the business world and in accordance with his group

of business beginner students.

The initial motivation of students in

implementing entrepreneurship is because they want

to get the value and fulfill the requirement of the

lecture, so the interest of entrepreneurship is still

low. Some students are also still afraid to jump in

the field of entrepreneurship because they do not

have the skills in managing the business and

overshadowed the risk of non-success or loss. If

students know the benefits of entrepreneurship, that

is they can create jobs for others and generate a large

income from an employee.

In the thesis of Mira (Mira,2015), the results

show the existence of social benefits of the results of

entrepreneurship training, among others: develop

interaction, create communication networks, and

develop personal growth, while the economic

benefits of entrepreneurship training results include:

increase productivity, get new jobs, gain

entrepreneurial network, and increase revenue.

Benefits of the learning process include: gaining

new knowledge, improving decision making,

improving the performance of citizens learning,

increasing independence, acquiring new skills,

improving skills. Constraints faced by citizens to

learn in getting these benefits are: internal factors

are the mindset of the community itself and external

factors is from capital and marketing.

Adhitama research results (Adhitama,2014)

showed that: (1) there is a positive effect of income

expectations on entrepreneurship interest. This

means that higher income will increase the interest

of entrepreneurship. (2) There is a positive influence

of family environment on entrepreneurship interest.

This means that increasingly support the family

environment will increase the interest of

entrepreneurship. (3) There is positive influence of

entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurship

interest. It means that the better the entrepreneurship

education will increase the interest of

entrepreneurship.

Therefore, the research questions in this research

are:

1. How does effect of education in students

entrepreneurship interest at the faculty of

economics UISU Medan

2. How does effect of training in students

entrepreneurship interest at the faculty of

economics UISU Medan

3. How does effect education and training in

students entrepreneurship at the faculty of

economics UISU Medan.

Based on the research question above, the

researches might draw their research hypothesis as

follows:

1. There is a significant effect of education on the

interest of entrepreneurship students at the

faculty of economics UISU Medan.

2. There is a significant effect of training on the

interest of entrepreneurship students at the

faculty of economics UISU Medan.

3. There is a significant effect of education and

training on the interest of entrepreneurship

students at the faculty of economics UISU

Medan.

2 LITERATURE REVIEW

Suryana (Suryana, 2013, p. 24) stated that

"entrepreneurship is the creative and innovative

ability that is used as the basis, the tips, and the

resources to look for opportunities for success". The

essence of entrepreneurship is the ability to create

ICMR 2018 - International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research

624

something new and different through creative

thinking and innovative action to create

opportunities.

The additional value gained and the well-being

that has been achieved can continue to encourage

people to create something new and different. As

explained by Zimmerer (Kasmir, 2011, p. 20) that

"entrepreneurship is a process of applying creativity

and innovation in solving problems and finding

opportunities to improve lives (business)

Based on these opinions, it is concluded that

entrepreneurship is the ability to create something

new and different through creative thinking and

innovative action to create opportunities. Creating

something creative and innovative means that in its

creation it is packaged in such a way that the

creation of new and different ideas is different from

what has been done. This is certainly not

independent of the risks that will be obtained in

order to get a big advantage.

According to Stiggins (Ikbal, 2011, p. 12) states

that interest is one dimension of the affective aspect

that plays a role in one's life. The affective aspect is

the aspect that identifies the emotional dimensions

of emotional awareness, disposition, and will that

affect one's thoughts and actions.

According to Croline Wangeci Njoroge & James

M. Gathungu in International Journal of Education

and Research Vol. 1 No. September 9, 2013has 6th

entitled "The Effect of Entrepreneurial Education

and Training on Small and Medium Size Enterprise

in Githunguri District-Kenya by stating that:

"Enterprise training - can be defined as planned and

systematic effort to modify or develop knowledge,

skills etc. Through learning experiences, we can

achieve effective performance in an activity or range

of activities ".

Entrepreneurship education is a weapon of

destruction of unemployment and poverty, and is the

ladder to the dream of every society to be financially

independent, have the ability to build the prosperity

of individuals, as well as to build the welfare of

society (Jamal Ma'mur Asmani, 2011). The

Government has issued the Presidential Instruction

No. 4 of 1995 on the National Movement of

Socializing and Entrepreneurship. This directive

mandates the entire Indonesian community and

nation to develop entrepreneurial programs. The

number of entrepreneurs is one of the supporters of

the national economy so should be strived to be

improved continuously.

3 ANALYSIS

3.1 Multiple Linear Regression Test

Creation of multiple regression equations can be

done by interpreting the numbers in nonstandardized

coefficient beta. Here is the result of SPSS test table

a. Dependent Variable: Interest

Based on the results of data if it can be compiled

multiple regression equation as follows:

Y = 21.616 + 0.166X

+ 0.517X

2 (1)

ICMR 2018 - International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research

626

From the regression equation above it can be

interpreted several things, among others:

1. The value of the constant of the above equation

is 21.616. The figure shows the level of

entrepreneurship interest if the level of

education and training is ignored.

2. Variable Entrepreneurship education has a

regression coefficient value of 0.166. The value

of positive coefficient shows the positive

relationship of Education to entrepreneur

interest. This means that even though small

education to cultivate interest in

entrepreneurship faculty of economics ofUISU,

this seen 0.166 results with the assumption that

other independent variables are constant

3. Training Variables have coefficient value of

0.517. It also shows the positive relationship of

training to entrepreneurship interests. It can be

concluded that if the training is given then the

student entrepreneur interest will increase by

the coefficient of 0.517 with the assumption

that the other independent variable is

considered constant.

4. Of the two values between the variables of

Education and Training there are differences in

which the variables of Training have greater

influence on entrepreneurship interest than

entrepreneurship education that has minus

value is indicated if the faculty of economics

only apply entrepreneurship education only

through the theories then the interest of

entrepreneurship students is not at all but if the

training is given the interest of

entrepreneurship students to be high this is

because training provides soft skills students

know in detail for business products that will

be managed.

students of the Faculty of Economics. Based on the

results of data if using spss obtained value of

coefficient of determination R2sebesar 0.402 it

shows that as much as 40,% Interest in

entrepreneurship in students among the economic

faculty of Islamic University of North Sumatra is

influenced by the variation of the two independent

variables used, namely education and training,while

the rest is influenced by other factors of this study.

Thus the relationship between the two variables can

be said quite strong because the education is given in

theory followed by practical training in giving to the

students who take entrepreneurship courses in the

faculty of economics.

3.3 F Test (Simultaneous Test)

The statistical F test basically shows whether all the

independent variables included in the model have a

mutual influence on the dependent variable. The

results of the F Test calculation can be seen in the

Source: Processed using SPSS V20

The influence of each variable of education and

training on entrepreneurship interest can be seen

from the direction of sign and level of significance

(probability).

Variables of Entrepreneurship Education and

Training have a positive direction. Both variables

have significant effect on entrepreneurship interest

because of significant value <0,05.

1. Effect of Entrepreneurship Education on Interest

in Entrepreneurship

The result of partial test (t test) between the

variables of Entrepreneurship Education to the

entrepreneurship interest variable shows the

value of tcount0.558>ttable 2.64. with a sig value

of 0.579 this indicates that entrepreneurship

education has a positive and no significant

influence (sig.) on Interest in entrepreneurship

(H1 accepted).

2. The Influence of Training on Interest in

Entrepreneurship

The result of partial test (t test) between the

variables of Training on the entrepreneurship

interest variable shows the value of

tcount2.261>ttable 2.64 with sig 0.27 This shows

that the training has a positive and significant

effect on entrepreneurship interest (H2 accepted).

From the above explanation, it can be concluded

that the variables of Entrepreneurship Education

(X1) and Training (X2) have a positive and

significant influence on the variables Interest in

Entrepreneurship (Y). So the first and second

hypothesis in this study is proven and acceptable.

4 CONCLUSION

Based on the discussion of the above research

results, the following conclusions can be made:

Entrepreneurship education variables that have

regression coefficient value 0.166 which has a

positive coefficient value which means a positive

relationship between entrepreneurship education to

entrepreneurship interests, although no significant

too high coefficientregression value. This means that

there is influence between entrepreneurship

educations to entrepreneurship interest in Faculty of

Economics of UISU Medan.

While the training variables have a coefficient

value of 0.517 which has a positive relationship and

is a higher value than in entrepreneurship education

which means have a big influence on

entrepreneurship interest. This shows the effect of

training on entrepreneurship interest in the Faculty

of Economics of UISU Medan.
