Manajemen UAD Bekali Mahasiswa Kewirausahaan dan Perkoperasian

/in /by

Koperasi di Indonesia secara kuantitas menjadi salah satu yang terbanyak di dunia dengan jumlah 212.315. Namun secara kualitas, masih jauh dari harapan. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan dampak koperasi terhadap produk domestik bruto Indonesia yang masih rendah, yakni sekitar 4,48%.

 

Meskipun ada kencenderungan meningkat, dirasa masih kurang, mengingat cita-cita koperasi adalah sebagai Saka Guru perekonomian Indonesia. Dari 200 ribuan koperasi di Indonesia, hanya ada 3 yang masuk 300 koperasi besar dunia. Dilansir dari International Cooperative Consultant (ICA), 3 di antaranya adalah Koperasi Warga Semen Gresik (KWSG), Kospin Jasa, dan Koperasi Karyawan Telkomsel (KISEL).

 

Sementara kontribusi Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) terhadap perekonomian Indonesia mencapai 60%. Tetapi, UMKM tetap tidak luput dari berbagai tantangan seperti akses permodalan, pemasaran, pengelolaan, perizinan, sampai harus bersaing dengan pemodal besar.

 

Dari segi pengelolaan, belum banyak UMKM yang mempunyai badan hukum yang jelas, sehingga UMKM masih belum bisa terjangkau oleh lembaga pembiayaan (bankable). Pemerintah sudah memberikan solusi dengan adaya Izin Usaha Mikro Kecil (IUMK) supaya UMKM dapat diakses oleh lembaga keuangan, tetapi masih harus disosialisasikan lebih intensif lagi.

 

Berangkat dari permasalahan tersebut, Program Studi Manajemen Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis (FEB) Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) menggelar seminar nasional tentang koperasi dan UMKM dengan tajuk “Mewujudkan Koperasi dan UMKM Berkualitas Kelas Dunia”.

 

Hadir sebagai pembicara Drs. Setyo Heriyanto, M.M. selaku Direktur Lembaga Koperasi Jasa Keuangan (LSP KJK) Jakarta, Dr. Purwoko, S.E.,M.M. yang merupakan dosen Manajemen UAD sekaligus Ketua Asosiasi Koperasi Pati, serta Drs. Tri Saktiyana, M.Si. yang menjabat sebagai Kepala Dinas Koperasi dan UMKM DIY.

 

Acara yang berlangsung Sabtu (7/4/2018) di auditorium kampus 1 UAD Jln. Kapas 9, Semaki, Yogyakarta ini bertujuan membahas strategi pengelolaan koperasi dan UMKM yang bermanfaat bagi kesejahteraan masyarakat. Selain itu juga sebagai wahana sosialisasi mengenai kebijakan pemberdayaan koperasi dan UMKM oleh pemerintah serta pihak terkait. Bagi mahasiswa, acara tersebut menjadi sarana pembelajaran mengenai kewirausahaan dan perkoperasian. (ard/doc)

Buruh Gendong Pasar Beringharjo Ramaikan Fashion Show

/in /by

Sejumlah 33 buruh gendong pasar Beringaharjo, Yogyakarta, Kamis (5/4/2018) tampak sumringah saat mengikuti lomba fashion show di Pendopo Timur Pasar Beringharjo. Kegiatan ini dalam rangka memperingati Milad Fakultas Farmasi Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) Yogyakarta ke-22, Hari Kartini, dan Hari Kesehatan Dunia.

Bermodal tenaga, jarik selendang, dan keranjang, ibu-ibu yang kebanyakan sudah berusia lanjut tampak sangat antusias mengikuti acara hingga usai. Panitia menyediakan hadiah dan bingkisan bagi para peserta. Yang membuat acara ini menarik perhatian pengunjung, meskipun sudah tidak muda lagi, mereka terlihat lincah dan tanpa malu-malu saat beraksi.

Menurut Ryan Budi Nuryanto, panitia pelaksana acara, fashion show khusus buruh gendong baru pertama kali diadakan di pasar Beringharjo. Penilaian tidak didasarkan pada kecantikan atau penampilan modelnya, melainkan lebih pada keoriginalannya. “Yang kami nilai adalah teknik gendong yang benar serta penampilannya saat menggendong. Ibu-ibu ini tampil secara natural tanpa riasan,” ungkap Ryan.

Kemudian yang perlu diperhatikan lagi, Fakultas Farmasi UAD juga menggandeng tukang pijat tuna netra untuk membantu melakukan pijat refleksi. Dekan Fakultas Farmasi UAD, Dr. Dyah Aryani Perwitasari, Apt.,Ph.D. menjelaskan, pihaknya sengaja memilih pasar Beringharjo sebagai lokasi pengabdian masyarakat.

“Buruh gendong perempuan adalah pekerjaan yang kurang mendapat perhatian. Bisa dilihat, ada banyak ibu-ibu lanjut usia yang secara kesehatan sudah bukan waktunya untuk bekerja,” kata Dyah di sela-sela acara.

Farmasi UAD ingin memberikan perhatian khusus kepada komunitas yang belum banyak tersentuh. Salah satu cara yang ditempuh dengan melakukan pemeriksaan kesehatan gratis meliputi tekanan darah, asam urat, gula darah, pijat refleksi, konsultasi kesehatan, serta pengobatan gratis. (ard)
