As currently, the rise of a talent shortage among student as an entrepreneur in acute condition. The nation right now faced increment number unemployment among young graduate. Government has proposed young graduate to be entrepreneurship to beat this issue—however, the entrepreneurial skills among young graduate far below expectation. Do government do not adequately provide enough support for the entrepreneur ecosystem among young graduate to growth as an entrepreneur. Hence this paper, focusing on developing a significant model to beat talent shortage with the perspective of demand and supply. Then, 371 respondents among public universities student by using simple random sampling. Data analysed with IBM-SPSS and IBM-AMOS to develop a model through path analysed. It was found that the government factor provides a significant factor as a mediator and both talent demand and positively significant towards talent shortage. All hypotheses positively supported. This paper significantly impacts to the government, higher education institution, entrepreneur, and student itself with finding presented.
