EVALUATION OF THE YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT SERVICES (YESS) PROGRAM: IMPROVING YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN PASURUAN
English
Abstract
Compared with neighboring countries, Indonesia shows relatively low levels of entrepreneurial activity. This scenario has significant implications for the limited employment opportunities to engage the workforce adequately. To increase the workforce's interest in entrepreneurial ventures, the government has implemented the Youth Entrepreneurship and Employment Support Services (YESS) Program. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the program's effectiveness as determined by input, process, and output variables, as well as perceived similarity and perceived benefits of the program. This research uses variables of program success, respondents' perceived level of welfare, and respondents' perceptions of the benefits of the YESS Program. Data was collected through a combination structure of interviews, observations, and documentation of the 90 people that represent 180 competitive grant recipients in Pasuruan. Data was collected from February until April 2024. The findings show that the program operates very effectively (3,46). Increases in income, education, health, and economic security evidence increased welfare.
