MBKM Wirausaha Merdeka program batch two at Udayana University

Hello, my name is Putu Agus Sukrawan from the Japanese Literature class of 2021. In my fifth semester, I had the opportunity to join the MBKM Wirausaha Merdeka program batch two at Udayana University. The reason I chose this program because of my interest in learning entrepreneurship.

 It started with looking for information about MBKM that contained entrepreneurial elements, and finally I found this program, then I quickly registered and prepared the documents needed for registration and after a few weeks of registering I finally got a notification via email that I was accepted in the Wirausaha Merdeka program. The learning stages of the entrepreneurship Merdeka activity can be divided into 3, namely pre-immersion, immersion, and post-immersion. Pre-immersion is the initial learning that is done online to introduce students to what entrepreneurship is. The duration of this online learning is approximately four weeks. At this stage, many speakers who are experts in their fields provide material related to entrepreneurship. Immersion is a learning activity where students are directly assigned to MSMEs to learn how a company or small and medium business actors run their businesses. It can be said that during this immersion, we did an internship at MSMEs. Post-immersion is the peak stage of the entrepreneurship Merdeka activity. The activities carried out include, bootcamp to Bedugul, product creation, expo and investment summit, and final exam of Entrepreneurship Merdeka.

 During the Wirausaha Merdeka program, I felt quite happy because I not only got a lot of knowledge about entrepreneurship, but also got a lot of relations during and after the internship. I hope this program will be improved in the future so that more young entrepreneurs will be produced.
