However, not all students have sufficient interest or skills to engage in entrepreneurial activities. Therefore, this study aims to explore efforts to increase students' entrepreneurial interest through online entrepreneurship training. This study used qualitative research methods. The data collection technique was carried out by a literature study. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using thematic analysis. The results show that entrepreneurship training helps foster entrepreneurial interest by providing knowledge, skills, inspiration, and a supportive environment to start and develop a business. With effective entrepreneurship training, it is expected that participants' interest in entrepreneurship will increase and encourage them to embark on an entrepreneurial journey with confidence and success.
