PROGRAM KEWIRAUSAHAAN LANJUT : UPAYA MENCETAK WIRAUSAHA MAHASISWA

Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) merupakan salah satu universitas yang menjadi pelopor dalam pengembangan budaya kewirausahaan di perguruan tinggi. Salah satu program yang telah lama dilakukan adalah menjadikan kewirausahaan sebagai salah satu mata kuliah wajib dengan bobot 2 sks. Namun demikian, hasil yang diharapkan belum sesuai dengan harapan awal. Hal tersebut dikarenakan materi yang diberikan pada perkuliahan mata kuliah kewirausahaan cenderung mengupas hal-hal yang teoritis tentang kewirausahaan sehingga belum mampu menumbuhkembangkan budaya berwirausaha di kalangan mahasiswa UNS. Dalam rangka mengatasi hal tersebut, diperlukan program lanjutan, untuk mengasah keterampilan kewirausahaan praktis baik dalam hal perencanaan, pengelolaan dan evaluasi suatu usaha. Kuliah kewirausahaan program kewirausahaan lanjut merupakan salah satu program yang dirancang untuk memberikan pengalaman belajar (learning with) dalam membekali peserta kegiatan untuk fokus dalam pembentukan suatu usaha baru skala mikro. Metode pembelajaran yang dikembangkan terdiri dari dua hal yaitu metode pembelajarn in class dan metode pembelajaran out class.

Pembelajaran in class dilaksanakan selama tiga hari dengan jumlah jam pelajaran sebanyak 24 JPL. Sedangkan pembelajaran out class merupakan praktek usaha nyata, yang dilakukan selama 1 – 1,5 bulan dan dilakukan secara berkelompok.
