National student skill competition interest in creative industry entrepreneurship

Creative industries become a new labour market for graduates of Vocational High School (VHS). Creative industries have many sub-sectors that can be filled by all fields of expertise in VHS. Research is directed at how creative industry business opportunities need to be introduced by all students in Indonesia. An annual event such as the National Student Skills Competition (NSSC) held by the Ministry of Education and Culture is a tool for research objects to photograph the interest of Indonesian children in the creative industries. The study used survey methods with locations in Yogyakarta. The questionnaire contributors were distributed by almost two-thirds of representatives in each province in Indonesia. The results of the survey show that the most popular creative endeavours are culinary. However, the results of our study also revealed that the trend of expectations of many high achieving students in this worksheet wanted to continue their studies rather than work or become entrepreneurs. However, creative industry employment opportunities need to be disseminated massively to all VHSs so that the vocational graduates' job market will be more comprehensive and encourage to open millions of creative entrepreneurs.
