Abstract


This research aims to explore the factors that influence students' interest in becoming entrepreneurs. North Sumatra is one of the provinces with a fairly high unemployment rate, namely 5.89 above the national level of 5.32 percent (BPS 2023). Unemployment occurs when the demand for labor is less than the supply of available labor. This occurs due to several factors such as slowing economic growth, changes in economic structure, lack of qualifications and skills of the workforce. The impact of high unemployment rates is very detrimental to both individuals and society. Individuals who experience unemployment will experience difficulty in meeting life's needs, increase the risk of poverty, and lack access to public services. Apart from that, unemployment can also cause social problems such as increased crime, drug abuse and mental health problems. Entrepreneurship can be an alternative for students to create jobs for themselves and others. Apart from that, entrepreneurship can also increase student creativity, innovation and independence. However, currently interest in entrepreneurship among students is still quite low. This can be caused by a lack of awareness of the benefits of entrepreneurship, lack of skills and knowledge in entrepreneurship. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase students' interest in entrepreneurship based on the theory of factors that influence interest in entrepreneurship, namely: Creativity, entrepreneurial knowledge, locus of control entrepreneurship education and Self Efficacy. Creativity, entrepreneurial knowledge, locus of control entrepreneurship education and Self Efficacy can be developed through education that collaborates these factors, namely by implementing Student Learning Collaboration
