The number of young entrepreneurs in Indonesia is very low when compared to global data. Meanwhile, environmental issues in Indonesia are in a state of emergency. We are interested in conducting research on millennials as a productive generation and, according to several studies, a generation with high environmental awareness. The purpose of this study is to assess their desire to become environmentally conscious entrepreneurs. The variables used in this study are Green Awareness and Green Knowledge, which will be reflected in their Green Entrepreneurial Behavior via the mediation of Green Entrepreneurial Intention. This study differs from previous studies in that it investigates the millennial generation, not only their desire to become environmentally friendly entrepreneurs, but also their future behavior once they become entrepreneurs. Data was gathered through the use of an online questionnaire, specifically a Google form. Purposive sampling was used, yielding 217 responses from millennials living in and around Jakarta, a metropolitan city known for producing the most young entrepreneurs. The data was processed using PLS-SEM (Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling) with SmartPLS 3.2.8. According to the study's findings, improving Green Awareness and Green Knowledge could lead to an increase in environmentally conscious entrepreneurs. The government, educational institutions, and the companies can work together to carry out environmental awareness campaigns and provide environmental knowledge so that future entrepreneurs can become environmentally oriented entrepreneurs.

In correlation there is a positive and strong correlation of Passion, Innovation, Adaptability, Sustainability and Competitiveness to Performance of Entrepreneur and Non-Entrepreneur millennials. By descriptive analysis, millennials of the Non-Entrepreneurs have a higher mean compared with the millennials who are entrepreneurs.
Based on the pre-survey results of the PKM Business Faculty team at the President University, the average absorption of the workforce towards vocational school graduates in Bekasi is around 35% - 40%. This is very contradictory with the location of SMKs which are located in one regency with the Jababeka industrial estate as one of the largest industrial estates in West Java. The location of vocational schools in industrial areas should make it easier for vocational graduates to have job opportunities. The results of interviews with 3 companies that received many SMK graduates can be concluded that the SMK graduates in the selection process did not pass the initial stage, namely interviews and tests. HRD Managers informed that SMK graduates were not well prepared in facing interviews and tests. Many SMK graduates also do not know the requirements needed by the company, such as additional certificates. One company, PT Komatsu, even requires SMK graduates who want to work in the company must have certificates issued by BLK (Balai Latihan Kerja). Based on these problems, the PKM team compiles material that prepares 12th grade students who are in their final year of school so they can prepare themselves well in entering the workforce. If they are not hired, the SMK graduates are also given training on entrepreneurship, so they have other alternatives after graduation. With these two materials, they are expected to be able to become vocational graduates who have competitiveness. This training was held in 3 SMKs involving 4 lecturers and 1 student. The event was closed by giving a souvenir to the school representative. Vocational students who take part in the training will be given certificates based on proof of attendanceABSTRAK:Berdasarkan hasil pra-survei tim PKM Fakultas Bisnis Universitas Presiden, rata-rata serapan dunia kerja terhadap lulusan SMK di Kabupaten Bekasi sekitar 35% - 40%. Hal ini sangat kontradiktif dengan lokasi SMK yang berada satu kabupaten dengan kawasan industri Jababeka sebagai salah satu kawasan industri terbesar di Jawa Barat. Seharusnya letak SMK yang berada di Kawasan industri memudahkan lulusan SMK memiliki peluang kerja. Hasil wawancara dengan 3 perusahaan yang banyak menerima lulusan SMK dapat disimpulkan bahwa para lulusan SMK dalam proses seleksi tidak lulus di tahap awal yaitu wawancara dan tes. Para Manager HRD menginformasikan bahwa lulusan SMK kurang menyiapkan diri dengan baik dalam menghadapi I wawancara dan tes. Lulusan SMK juga banyak yang tidak mengetahui persyaratan yang dibutuhkan perusahaan, seperti sertifikat tambahan. Salah satu perusahaan yaitu PT Komatsu bahkan mensyaratkan lulusan SMK yang ingin bekerja di perusahaan tersebut harus memiliki sertifikat yang dikeluarkan BLK (Balai Latihan Kerja). Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, tim PKM menyusun materi yang menyiapkan siswa-siswa kelas 12 yang berada di tahun terakhir sekolahnya agar dapat menyiapkan diri dengan baik dalam memasuki dunia kerja. Apabila mereka tidak diterima bekerja, lulusan SMK ini juga diberikan pelatihan mengenai kewirausahaan, sehingga memiliki alternatif lain setelah lulus. Dengan kedua materi tersebut, dharapkan mereka dapat manjadi lulusan SMK yang memiliki daya saing. Pelatihan ini diadakan di 3 SMK dengan melibatkan 4 orang dosen dan 1 mahasiswa. Acara ditutup dengan pemberian kenang-kenangan kepada perwakilan sekolah. Siswa-siswa SMK yang mengikuti pelatihan akan diberikan sertifikat berdasarkan bukti kehadiran.
