Lembaga Kesejahteraan Sosial Anak (LKSA) is an institution that has a real role in the effort of
responsibility to provide social welfare services to abandoned children by carrying out assistance and alleviation of neglected children, providing surrogate services for parents / guardians of children to fulfill their physical, mental and social needs. foster children so that they have broad, appropriate and adequate opportunities for the development of their personality as expected as part of the future generation of the nation's ideals. Therefore, the existence of Child Welfare Institutions is so important and strategic, in serving as well as preventing them from becoming neglected children, marginalized children, or children who are not cared for. LKSA Muhammadiyah Bandung is a child social welfare institution that provides social services and guidance to foster children, such as: education services, care services, physical guidance, and social guidance. However, the efforts made by the LKSA are very limited considering the costs they have come only from donors. The problem is actually preparing the children after graduating from high school, they are not prepared to go directly into the job field, what else to continue to the level of Higher Education. Thus, after graduating from high school they were unemployed and had difficulty finding work. Moreover, the institution's regulations only administer and finance children to senior high school, after which they will be returned to their parents for those who still have parents. For this reason, LKSA must provide them with skills and expertise or life skills. While the Institute itself has limited carrying capacity to shape and guide their expertise, both in terms of costs, human resources (HR), and equipment. On the basis of these problem conditions, the proponent team had the idea to make the Putra Muhammadiyah LKSA a partner in the Young Men Entrepreneur LKSAP creation program with the following priorities to create young men who have entrepreneurial spirit and have business / business knowledge and insights and have skills / expertise work. So that it is expected that once they graduate from high school, they can become teenagers who are independent and have expertise.
