This is very relevant, especially for students in the Islamic education management program who are not prepared to become Through KOPMA, students have the opportunity to train themselves in management, business administration, and the creation of products or services with market value in society.
With various entrepreneurial activities organized by KOPMA, students can learn to sharpen their creativity, innovation, and courage to take risks in running a business.
In line with that, the interests and talents of UIN Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember students need to be developed, considering the advancing developments.

TPT rose from 5.
13% to 5.
indicating a 0.

business and non-business fields.
This opinion is in line with what was stated by Oktaviani & Sardin, .
that interest in entrepreneurship is a sense of interest in becoming an entrepreneur who is willing to work hard and diligently to achieve the progress of his business.
An interest or entrepreneurial spirit must be formed when a person is still in the process of education so that they can determine the direction of their future career.
This is in line with the opinions of Linatul Fatimah and Siti Aminah regarding the context of special service management, which is a process of providing services to meet the needs of students to support effective and efficient educational goals.
Special service management is implemented and organized to facilitate learning and meet the specific needs of students in schools.
One of the types of special services within the scope of education is cooperatives (Fatimah & Aminah, 2.

state that one of the special service management practices commonly implemented in educational environments is The purpose of these cooperatives is not only to achieve sales targets but also to enhance the well-being of members .

by providing optimal services.
In line with that, the principles of cooperation are also regulated in the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 17 of 2012 concerning Cooperatives, in Chapter i on Values and Principles.
Article 5.
Paragraph .
, which states that the underlying values of cooperative activities are mutual assistance, self-help, responsibility, democracy, equality, justice, and Furthermore, it is also stipulated in Paragraph .
that the values believed by cooperative members are honesty, transparency, accountability, and concern for others (Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Tentang Perkoperasian, 2.
Article 6, paragraph also regulates the principles of cooperatives, which include voluntary and open participation from cooperative members, democratic supervision, active participation in cooperative activities by all members, and for educational cooperatives, the need to organize education and training for members, supervisors, and administrators, and work towards sustainability for the environment and community through agreed-upon policies by the members (Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Tentang Perkoperasian, 2.
The principles of cooperatives in Article 6, such as voluntariness, openness, democracy, active participation, education, and sustainability, are in line with the teachings of Islam in QS.

(Departemen Agama Republik Indonesia, 2.
The verse is in line with the cooperative principles outlined in Article 6.
Namely, the principles of voluntarism and openness, democracy, active participation, education, training, sustainability, and social welfare.
These principles can be seen through the Islamic teachings on justice, transparency, honesty, and willingness in transactions, especially within the educational environment.
Based on the initial interview with the Chairman of KOPMA for the 2023/2024 period.
Muhammad Haikal, at the Student Cooperative (KOPMA) at UIN Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember, it was stated that in the business sector.
KOPMA has established a cooperative unit called "Tjafetaria.
" The purpose of activities carried out in this unit is to train members in business management, time management, loyalty, integrity, and totality, as well as to provide a platform for entrepreneurship.
Additionally, within KOPMA, members are also encouraged to engage in online entrepreneurship through digital media or online shops, with the aim of not only developing business management skills but also providing a space for members to venture J-MIND (Jurnal Manajemen Indonesi.

, plans programs to support members' creativity.
These include creative industry training and training members in producing marketable goods.

This program aims to develop creativity while providing practical Additionally, there are discussions and training sessions on creative industry trends, equipping members with insights into business opportunities in the creative sector.
Collaborations with external parties, such as working with professors, alumni, and relevant agencies, are also part of these programs to provide materials and marketing opportunities.
These programs aim to enhance members' competitiveness, aligning with our first vision of improving competitiveness and optimizing members.
The KOPMA planning not only focuses on developing the talents and entrepreneurial interests of its members, but also strives to create an environment that supports cooperative values such as solidarity, justice, and innovation.

The planning carried out by the Student Cooperative (KOPMA) of UIN Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember is in line with the definition of planning in cooperatives, which is essentially the activity of determining the goals to be achieved along with the methods to achieve those goals.
According to T.
Handoko, as quoted in the book "Basic Concepts of Educational Management in Schools" by Daryanto and Mohammad Farid, there are four stages in planning: .
Setting goals or a series of goals.
Formulating the current situation.
Identifying all facilitators and obstacles.
Developing a plan or a series of activities for goal (Fatimah & Aminah, 2.
Planning related to talent development and entrepreneurial interests is very important, as stated by Nursita, .
Entrepreneurship has become one of the essential soft skills needed in the current era.
Entrepreneurial soft skills serve as the main foundation for creating business activities and enhancing both the informal and formal sectors in Indonesia.
In the informal sector, businesses are simpler and smaller in scale, allowing a significant number of people to be absorbed into this sector.
The informal sector is easily accessible to the general public, as it requires minimal requirements for employment.
Therefore, this sector has the potential to absorb a large workforce.
Interest and aptitude for entrepreneurship are significant strengths in supporting the successful development of businesses.
With a strong interest, individuals will be motivated to hone their talents and skills, as well as seize opportunities in entrepreneurship.
Talented and interested entrepreneurs not only grow their businesses but also contribute to the economy by J-MIND (Jurnal Manajemen Indonesi.

One of the main programs is entrepreneurship training, such as creative industry training managed by the Creative Industry Division under the PSDA Field.
This training equips members to produce marketable goods, such as flower bouquets and crafts from recycled materials.

The implementation of programs carried out by the Student Cooperative (KOPMA) at UIN Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember is in line with the opinions of Siti Nurjannah and Muhammad Anasrullah, which state that student cooperatives, also known as KOPMA, are business cooperatives located within the campus or university environment.
Student cooperatives are one of the Student Activity Units (UKM) used to provide opportunities and a platform for all students to enhance their abilities and knowledge in organizing, both in business and non-business fields.
(Nurjanah & Anasrulloh, 2.
In essence, the student cooperative (KOPMA) is an important platform within the campus environment that serves as a means for students to develop organizational skills, especially in the fields of business and non-business.
Through KOPMA, students not only have the opportunity to learn about business management but also to hone their entrepreneurial abilities and work in teams.
The student cooperative significantly contributes to the development of managerial and entrepreneurial skills among students, as well as prepares them for the future job market and business world.
By training students to develop their talents and interests in entrepreneurship through cooperative management processes.
KOPMA plays a crucial role.
Furthermore, talent development in the implementation of KOPMA programs has also become a primary focus.
Talent itself is defined as a multitude of abilities that individuals can achieve through various activities or actions.
In the increasingly modern development, the definition of talent continues to evolve.
(Afniola et al.
, 2.
Then according to Bigham in Indah Ayu Anggraini.
Wahyuni Desti Utami, and Salsa Bila Rahma, talent is a condition or ability possessed by someone that allows them to acquire a specific competence, knowledge, and special skills through specific training.
(Anggraini et al.
, 2.
Interest, on the other hand, is a process that consistently pays attention and focuses on something that one is interested in, with feelings of pleasure and satisfaction.
Interest is a mental state composed of a mixture of hope, conviction, prejudice, fear, or other inclinations that direct an individual toward a certain thought.
(Arifudin, 2.

Prasrihamni.
Zulela, and Edwita also expressed that interest is a consistent tendency to pay attention to and remember a certain activity.
The activity here is continuously observed and accompanied by pleasure until satisfaction is achieved (Prasrihamni et al.
, 2.
With the existence of the talent and entrepreneurship development program at KOPMA UIN Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember, several entrepreneurial skills can be enhanced.
According to (Suebuddin, 2.
entrepreneurial skills include the ability to take risks, which is a key characteristic of a successful entrepreneur.

Entrepreneurs must be able to analyze challenging situations, identify the root causes of problems, and find effective solutions.
This involves critical thinking skills, creativity, and quick decision-making.
The solutions formulated should address current issues and prevent similar problems from arising in the future.
Supervision of Student Cooperatives (KOPMA) in Developing Entrepreneurial Talents and Interests Based on the interview results, according to Gilbran.
KOPMA supervision is carried out systematically to ensure the effectiveness of programs and the sustainability of entrepreneurial Performance evaluations of the management are conducted every month by the Chairman of the Supervisory Board and their team, covering aspects of program implementation, resource management efficiency, and adherence to the cooperative's vision and Quarterly evaluations involving members provide space for input regarding the success of training programs, the effectiveness of the consignment sales system, and opportunities for product marketing improvements.
Supervision is also carried out in the Business Division at Tjafetaria and the Online Shop to ensure that the entrusted products meet quality standards and remain competitive in the Additionally, supervisors specifically assess members' level of participation in each If a decrease in enthusiasm is found, management is asked to improve communication and motivation strategies, such as through personal approaches or social media campaigns within the cooperative.
Supervision of seminars and workshops also includes evaluating the quality of speakers and the relevance of the material presented to members' needs.
Input from these evaluations is used to enhance the implementation of future programs.
The evaluation results indicate that most members have benefited from the training program, but challenges still exist, such as members' time constraints due to academic commitments and lack of participation in some programs.
To address this.
KOPMA has designed a more flexible schedule and optimized digital communication to make program information more accessible.
Regular evaluation and strict supervision enable KOPMA to continually adapt and innovate in supporting student talent and entrepreneurial interests.
Supervision at the UIN Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember Cooperative is important to assess the implementation process of the KOPMA program.
This is in line with the definition of supervision according to (Fatimah & Aminah, 2.
Supervision is an activity within an organization to ensure that the implementation aligns with the planned objectives.
Supervision can also be defined as an ongoing process to assess the progress being made by employees and all members of the organization.
CONCLUSION
The Student Cooperative (KOPMA) of Pandhalungan UIN KHAS Jember has developed a strategic plan that focuses on the development of students' entrepreneurial talents and interests through creative industry training such as bouquet making, business studies, and external collaborations.
A clear organizational structure supports the effective implementation of programs, with divisions such as PSDA.
