The goods and services sold are varied, ranging from food and drinks, key chains, clothes, knit bags, shoes, even shoe cleaning services are available.

Before carrying out actualization, students have received mentoring which is preceded by theory classes. It doesn't stop there, after the actualization activity the students will return to class to carry out an evaluation.
"For those who have never experienced starting a business before, will it be different after taking part in this activity," said Andhika.
Even though the "1-Day Bazaar Exhibition With Young Entrepreneurs" is a course actualization activity, not all students participating in the Entrepreneurship course are just starting to practice entrepreneurship today. Some students had even opened businesses before this actualization activity was held.
One of them, Sukma and Akbar, started opening a tea stand under the Mongtea brand three months ago in the Gulun area. Akbar admitted that the Entrepreneurship course really helped them in running their business. Moreover, lessons about how to manage finances and selling tips that help their business.
In contrast to Akbar, Egita, who at the time of his actualization was selling bomboloni with the Say Bomboloni brand, admitted that he was interested in continuing his business online because of the Entrepreneurship course.
"I make the donuts myself at home with help from my mother. Mother already sells regular donuts which are not bomboloni. However, because of this course, I am interested in continuing to sell bomboloni online," said Egita when more than half of the bomboloni she brought were sold out.
