The struggle to make cooperatives in Indonesia better is not finished because they are still facing the era of industrial revolution 4.0. This revolution will bring major changes in digital life. Currently, there are still many cooperatives that exist but are not active. This is due to a lack of encouragement or attention from the government in developing cooperatives in a more advanced direction.
Currently, competition is getting tighter, so there is no reason for cooperatives not to innovate, especially in relation to the importance of becoming a pillar of the national economy. With the enthusiasm of the millennial generation to collaborate in innovation for the development of cooperatives, they will be able to answer the challenges of all existing problems. So the role of the millennial generation is very important in making cooperatives in Indonesia become leading innovations so that they can help improve the current economic situation. Cooperatives as a people's economic movement and as a business entity based on the principles of kinship and economic democracy would be very appropriate if collaborated with the millennial generation as a forum to strengthen themselves in facing new challenges in the era of globalization. So the role of youth needs to be involved in strengthening efforts based on a cooperative spirit to be able to work together to increase the acceleration of the Indonesian economy.
For this reason, we from the 2022 Universitas Airlangga Faculty of Economics and Business Student Cooperative are holding a 2022 Kopma FEB Basic Education and Training event with the theme "Cooperatives as a Forum for Student Business Development". This event is one of the activities that is expected to increase students' interest in cooperatives and increase knowledge in the field of cooperative economics.
