ABSTRACT |
|
|
This
analysis aims to determine how the influence of the use of digipreneur and
sociopreneurship on the entrepreneurial interest of vocational students.
Especially with the condition of economic digitization which has become an
icon of the factory revolution 4.0 at this time, it is a "threat"
for business operators who always insist on implementing and managing their
business in conventional ways. Digipreneurs have had a tremendous impact on
the current entrepreneurial development. This has resulted in the creation of
new technology-based entrepreneurs in developing their business innovations.
No less than among young people equivalent to vocational high school
students. It is different with sociopreneur whose development is an effort to
improve the welfare of the people in the surrounding environment so that they
can solve social problems with a business approach. Perfect and planned and
prolonged social entrepreneurship can be tried through learning activities
that lead to the development of sociopreneurs from vocational high school
students. As the younger generation, they are agents of change who can share
socio-economic changes by providing the latest opportunities for the
community. |

Interest in Entrepreneurship, Sociopreneurship 1. INTRODUCTION Vocational secondary
education is one of the types of learning in Indonesia. Vocational High
School is the embodiment of vocational education that has a special training
pattern to prepare students to be ready to enter the business
world/industrial world. Vocational secondary education has begun to be in
demand in recent years because it has certain advantages and privileges
compared to others. One of them is being able to open their own business with
the knowledge and skills they have had since school. In this school,
vocational students are directed to become entrepreneurs after graduation. An
introduction to entrepreneurship is instilled since students enter VHS. It is
hoped that the provision of entrepreneurship education will open up their
knowledge of the world of entrepreneurship and can later be used as
provisions for the future. Thus, the alumnus of the Vocational High School
(VHS) will not only become a job seeker but can also become a competent and
reliable job creator. In this global era, business, technology,
and information are always changing rapidly. Indonesia's creative industry
currently allows the development of a digital-based business world. The road
is wide open for digipreneurs in developing their business. All circles of
society are competing to try their luck in |

entrepreneurship with this digital-based business. Do not miss also from the middle school students. Marketing opportunities will be more significant when information technology is included. Digipreneurs can help promote entrepreneurship and innovative culture in a country.
It is different with sociopreneurs who hope to be able to make social change on a broad scale, long-term, stable, and deep. Sociopreneur development is an effort to improve the welfare of the people in the surrounding environment. As someone who can let go of individual needs for many people and is not only concerned with personal gain. Adrian Liem said that one of the personalities that separate business entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurs are social attention and community understanding (altruism). This altruistic individual has 5 characters, namely high empathy, belief in balanced earth, social responsibility, internal locus of control, and low egocentrism Liem (2013).
Interestingly, this sociopreneur activity can run in the current digipreneur era and can finally increase the interest in entrepreneurship of VHS students who incidentally still have a great desire to get the maximum personal benefit compared to the common welfare. This is what makes the author want to analyze the use of digipreneur and sociopreneur on the entrepreneurial interest of vocational students.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
Vocational High School
The free market that is increasingly widespread today makes business opportunities wider open. The competition will be even tougher, especially with the development of e-commerce applications as a supporter of current digipreneurs. As an entrepreneur who must be able to survive in this era of globalization, knowledge, and skills are also needed. The advantage of a vocational high school has features that highlight it. The following are the privileges and advantages possessed by Vocational High Schools (VHS): (Wahyu, 2018)
1) Vocational skills are more mastered and taught
2) Prioritizing practical lessons
Vocational High Schools have additional skills lessons under their area of expertise. The theory lessons will be delivered first before students get practical theory to know the stages first before plunging into practice.
3) Implement industrial work practices (prakerin)
This internship must be done by VHS students for 6 months and when they sit in class XI even semester. This is important so that students understand and know how to become a worker or employee according to the competency skills they learn at school. It is their prakerin certificate that is favored to be ready to work after graduating from VHS.
4) VHS graduates are ready to work
5) Easier opportunities to open a business
Many vocational students today prefer to open their own business rather than work for someone else. Having a stock of expertise while in vocational high school, can make them have brilliant ideas to utilize the skills they have, especially those that are explored and guided continuously during school.
Digipreneur
The development of digital technology and nowadays has given birth to new business opportunities, namely digipreneur. For example, from the field of photography, we can easily find photographic works on the Instagram page. Confused with the recipe we want to make, we can easily find it on the Instagram page, Twitter, Facebook, and so on. It is this digital life that begins to focus on the revival of the digitalization era, everything will be digital. A job applicant doesn't even need to come directly to the job provider's office. All test steps are done online. The use of print media has also decreased, many turning to digital form. Digital in the KBBI itself is defined as the process of giving or using a digital system.
Digitization in the business world or business has also penetrated the digital market and has the name digital entrepreneurship, popularly known as digipreneur. This activity is attached to the souls who have brilliant ideas, are creative, can move dynamically, effectively, and efficiently. These souls are owned by young people. Examples of young digipreneurs we know: Manggala (2017)
1) Nurfadli (comic tahilalats)
Starting from his social media which he uses to spread his comics.
2) Danny (slapstick)
This joke is also packaged in the form of comics, game applications, and others. This joke can contribute to the provision of employment, so far 60 employees are working in it.
3) Marcella (90s generation)
Starting from the final project as a student of DKV Capital to be a digipreneur is not easy, especially for business actors. How to develop digipreneur starts from the steps of newcomers who have initial inspiration to get results from their hard work activities.
The following are the three main capitals of becoming a digipreneur as stated by Muhammad Awaludin in his book entitled "Digital Entrepreneurship": Fauziyah (2018)
1) Mindset
A positive mindset must always be instilled, ready and brave to face obstacles or challenges due to dynamic changes in the digital world.
2) Learn to understand conditions
An entrepreneur must practice mastering environmental situations, energetic market changes, competitor agility, to the impact of technology in business so that the mindset that has been instilled can run efficiently.
3) Networking
No effort can run alone, therefore entrepreneurs need networking or networking as a base for insights, ideas, and data for business development. So that this networking can run easily, entrepreneurs must act open and open themselves to make friends with many parties.
By applying digital technology, it will automatically allow small businesses to reach large target markets. By creating a website, small businesses have the opportunity to sell their services to all areas. Musnaini (2020)
Sociopreneur
According to Nicholls Prayogo (2017), sociopreneurship originates from the words social and entrepreneurship. Social has a social purpose, on the other hand, entrepreneurs have entrepreneurial intentions. The simple definition of a social entrepreneur is someone who knows and wants to understand social issues and uses his entrepreneurial skills to organize, create, and manage a business to carry out and bring about social change, especially in the aspects of safety, learning, and health. A social entrepreneur will serve the lower middle class to eliminate gaps in safety, learning, health, demographics, and job opportunities Prayogo (2017). The sociopreneur element emphasizes two key elements, namely innovation (creative process to produce something new), creating social values.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Various program activities are carried out by vocational high schools to produce young entrepreneurs who can open new jobs in today's digital business world. Santa Maria Vocational High School (VHS) is one of the vocational schools that aims to form young entrepreneurs who can bring change in the surrounding community by referring to sociopreneurs such as their core value, namely being a smart, independent, loving sociopreneur school. Entrepreneurial activities in learning that are mostly carried out in skill competency activities aim to increase their interest in entrepreneurship later after graduating from VHS. With the current Indonesian creative industry, it is possible to develop a digital-based business world. The road is wide open for digipreneurs in developing their business. This is what makes skill competency teachers at Santa Maria Vocational School encourage students to be able to use this digital world to market the products/services they produce in their skill competency learning activities.
In a simple observation survey that I conducted to 30 student council members at Santa Maria Vocational School with several question instruments related to digipreneurs, sociopreneurs and their entrepreneurial interests, it can be concluded that digipreneurs and sociopreneurs currently affect the entrepreneurial interest of Santa Maria Vocational School students.
While studying entrepreneurship, as many as 82.4% are happy and interested in this lesson because their entrepreneurial skills can improve, become more motivated, and can see market-oriented opportunities.

From the practical activities of the production unit according to their expertise competency as much as 68.8% is a means and place for business training for them. This is what encourages them to be able to create their own work with the abilities they have and to develop it they want to take part in motivational exercises as a preparation for entrepreneurship.

Currently, 56% of them already own or start a business, and the e-commerce platform or application they usually use as digipreneur support is Shopee in the first position, then Tokopedia and Lazada and have the desire to create their e-commerce website. Connected with the sociopreneur, the student said that as an entrepreneur they would not only be concerned with maximizing profit but would also pay attention to the environment around those in need.

4. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the results of a simple observation survey that has been described by the author above, it can be concluded that digipreneur and sociopreneur have an influence on the entrepreneurial interest of vocational students. This can be seen during the study of entrepreneurship, students are happy and interested because their entrepreneurial skills can improve, are more motivated, and are able to see market-oriented opportunities. Production unit activities can be a means and place for business training for those who are encouraged to create their own jobs. The e-commerce platforms or applications that they usually use to support digipreneurs in developing the businesses they have started are Shopee, Tokopedia, and Lazada. As an entrepreneur, they also want not only to be concerned with maximizing profits but also to pay attention to the environment around those in need.
Based on these conclusions, it is hoped that students' skill competency learning can continue to be improved and sharpened again and continue to instill sociopreneurs in every learning process and be able to collaborate with current digipreneurs to develop their marketing practice skills so that the interest in entrepreneurship of VHS students continues to increase.
