Introduction

The Millennial Agriculture (MAF) Forum is a platform for Medan Agricultural Development Polytechnic students to gain inspiration and knowledge about entrepreneurship in agriculture. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of MAF communication in fostering student entrepreneurial motivation and identify obstacles encountered in the communication process.

Background

The Millennial generation is known for its desire for financial freedom and social status. Entrepreneurship is seen as a way to achieve these goals. The MAF Forum provides a platform for students to learn from successful entrepreneurs and gain knowledge about entrepreneurship in agriculture. However, the effectiveness of MAF communication in fostering entrepreneurial motivation is still unclear.

Methodology

This study uses a qualitative method with a constructivism approach. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with 7 semester 7 students in the school year 2023/2024. The results showed that MAF was effective in fostering entrepreneurial motivation.

Why did MAF manage to foster motivation?

Several factors contributed to the effectiveness of MAF in fostering entrepreneurial motivation:

  • The desire to determine your own income: The Millennial generation wants financial freedom, and MAF provides opportunities for that.
  • Improving family status: Success as an entrepreneur is considered a way to improve the social status of the family.
  • Inspiration from Success Entrepreneur: Success Story Entrepreneur is a motivator for students to dare to dream.
  • Opening jobs: Increasing the number of entrepreneurs is expected to open jobs and reduce unemployment.

Communication Barriers Faced

Although effective, MAF also faces several obstacles in the communication process:

  • Physical obstacles: Unstable internet connection is the main obstacle in participating in the forum.
  • Semantic barriers: The use of non-familiar terms for students can inhibit the understanding of the material.

Solution to Increase the Effectiveness of MAF

To increase the effectiveness of MAF in fostering entrepreneurial motivation, several solutions can be applied:

  • Improving the quality of internet connection: It is essential to ensure a stable internet connection for all participants.
  • Using language that is easy to understand: It is crucial to use language that is simple and easily understood by students.
  • Providing a question and answer session: Question and answer sessions can help students to get a more detailed explanation of the material.
  • Making a mentoring program: Mentoring programs can help students to develop entrepreneurial ideas and overcome the obstacles encountered.

Conclusion

By increasing the effectiveness of communication and overcoming obstacles, MAF can be a more effective place in fostering the spirit of entrepreneurship among Medan Agricultural Development Polytechnic students. This is expected to give birth to young entrepreneurs who are innovative and contribute to the progress of the agricultural sector in Indonesia.
