Abstract

This study investigates the effect of training programs on entrepreneurship development in startup businesses. According to National Entrepreneurship Index, Indonesia occupies the lowest position among other countries. This situation will always be the same if there are no developing training programs for startup business actors, such as a startup accelerator program in the form of business incubation for startup companies. To obtain data on entrepreneurship development in Indonesia, researchers used descriptive quantitative methods on 30 respondents, who were met face-to-face and virtually. The data collection process used a cross-sectional survey approach. The data collected was then analyzed with the path analysis method using SmartPLS software. Based on the analysis result, there is a direct effect of the training program on startup businesses. Besides, there is also the influence of startup businesses on entrepreneurial development. Finally, there is an indirect effect of the training program on entrepreneurial development. The training program^s impact on startup businesses is more significant than that of startup businesses on entrepreneurship development. Observing the results of the indirect effect of the training program on entrepreneurship development, researchers consider that the role of the startup business is vital. The drawback of this study is the limited sample. Thus, future researchers should study a larger sample and focus on various industrial sectors.
