Empowerment Triple Helix Model for Sustainable Siswapreneur Framework Development

Abstract

Due to COVID-19 and subsequent Movement control order (MCO), the number of registered unemployed in Malaysia continues to increase. Under the Entrepreneurship Action Plan of Higher Education Institutions 2021-2025, various entrepreneurship-related activities, and initiatives, such as strategic collaborations with government agencies and private companies, have been organised at the HEIs level. This study, therefore, proposes a framework based on the triple helix model that emphasises the participation of universities, government agencies, and private companies. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to determine the role of universities, government agencies, and private corporations in fostering siswa-preneur development and sustainability. To effectively plan and strategize all siswa-preneur development activities, universities, government agencies, and private corporations must play a distinct role. This study aimed to assist higher education institutions in enhancing their planning and strategies for assisting students to sustain entrepreneurship activities in universities.
