STMIK Tazkia organized an intensive Startup Business training designed to equip students with practical skills in building digital businesses from scratch. This program is part of the entrepreneurship curriculum that integrates technology competencies with an entrepreneurial mindset.
Why Is Startup Business Training Important?
In today’s digital era, technical skills alone are not enough. Graduates of Information Systems and Computer Engineering need to be equipped with an entrepreneurial mindset to:
- Create jobs — Not just seeking employment, but creating opportunities
- Understand the market — Connecting technical solutions with real user needs
- Build valuable products — Technology that can be sustainably monetized
- Contribute to the digital economy — Becoming part of Indonesia’s startup ecosystem
This training aligns with STMIK Tazkia’s vision as an IT campus in Bogor that not only produces job-ready graduates but also job creators capable of leveraging technology for economic independence.
Learning Method: Hands-On Practice
The Startup Business training at STMIK Tazkia uses a learning by doing approach that differs from conventional entrepreneurship education:

- Identify real problems in their surroundings that can be solved with technology
- Conduct market research to validate market needs

3. Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

- Start small — Focus on core features that deliver the highest value
- Fast iteration — Release quickly, collect feedback, and improve
- Technical feasibility — Using programming skills already learned

4. Pitch Deck Preparation
Students are trained to prepare pitch decks for presenting their business ideas:
- Clear problem statement
