Abstract

One of the big problems that occur is unemployment. According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in 2019, the open unemployment rate in Indonesia reached 5.28%, or 7.05 million people from the 197.92 million labor force. This figure is still Indonesia undervalued, meaning that the actual number is much larger because some indicators are not included, such as informal workers who are looking for work. Meanwhile, the displacement in Semarang Regency in 2019 reached 20,560 of the total labor force of 800 thousand people.
To overcome the problem of unemployment, the government has launched a vocational village-based community entrepreneurship empowerment in Jambu District, Semarang Regency, which aims to provide skills in the form of community entrepreneurship, so that they have a livelihood and can improve their well-being.
This research uses a qualitative approach. Data collection for this study was carried out using interviews, observations, and documentation/literature studies. The training participants were 80 people (8 groups), and the subjects and informers in this study were 13 people, consisting of 11 respondents, namely residents learning training, and 2 informers, namely 1 manager and 1 community leader.
The implication of this study is the formation of 8 community entrepreneurship groups and entrepreneurial profiles and produces a vocational village-based community entrepreneurial empowerment model that ultimately has skills and livelihoods for survival.
