The model of entrepreneurial empowerment of students in order to create cooperative sector businesses in the border areas of Sistan and Baluchistan provinc

Abstract :

Teaching entrepreneurship to students, educating them on establishing cooperative businesses, and identifying opportunities for teamwork and collaboration in border regions can be crucial factors in shaping students' attitudes towards creating cooperative businesses in these areas. Therefore, as a first step, by designing a cohesive entrepreneurial model and developing a proper educational program on creating cooperative businesses, we can foster a collaborative work spirit among students in the border regions of Sistan and Baluchestan province. This approach will acquaint them with the methods of launching entrepreneurial businesses in the cooperative sector of border areas, thus setting the stage for talent growth and changing perspectives from false jobs towards creating entrepreneurial businesses in the domain of cooperation and collaboration. Consequently, this research has been conducted within the framework of a qualitative grounded theory research design. The results of the research indicate that establishing and maintaining cooperatives in these areas not only creates employment for a large population of border residents but also helps to achieve social and economic justice and fosters work motivation among the local population for indigenous entrepreneurship. Designing a cohesive entrepreneurial model and developing a proper educational program on creating cooperative businesses can nurture the spirit of collaborative work among students and introduce them to methods of launching entrepreneurial businesses in the cooperative sector of border areas.
