Abstract

The Advanced Independent Workforce (AIW) program plays a pivotal role in facilitating the development of micro and small enterprises in Indonesia. Nonetheless, various challenges, including inconsistent mentorship and limited evaluation mechanisms, impede its overall effectiveness. In response to these issues, a Dual Monitoring and Evaluation (DME) system was implemented to enhance the role of AIW mentors. This system comprises one-on-one meetings aimed at delivering personalized guidance, as well as onsite monitoring and evaluation to assess real-time business progress and operational challenges. This initiative was executed across multiple provinces in Indonesia, engaging mentors, mentees, and relevant stakeholders. The findings indicate that the DME system significantly enhances mentor effectiveness, bolsters business sustainability, and improves problem-solving capabilities. The one-on-one meetings afforded structured feedback and capacity-building opportunities for mentors, while onsite evaluations facilitated direct observation and timely interventions for mentees. The integration of direct engagement and field-based evaluation not only strengthened mentorship strategies but also increased mentee confidence and promoted adaptive business practices. This study underscores the importance of a structured mentoring model in workforce development and recommends the expansion of DME coverage, the incorporation of digital tools, and the development of standardized evaluation metrics. This approach presents a scalable model for analogous economic empowerment programs, thereby ensuring sustainable mentorship and the success of enterprises.

Abstract

The declining interest of young generations in agriculture has become a serious challenge to the sustainability of the agricultural sector, particularly in developing countries. This study aims to analyze the influence of motivation and technology exposure on high school students’ interest in agriculture. A quantitative research approach was employed using primary data collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 101 senior high school students in Bekasi Regency, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, supported by validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests. The results indicate that motivation has a positive and significant effect on students’ interest in agriculture, while technology exposure also shows a significant influence, although to a lesser extent. Simultaneously, motivation and technology exposure significantly affect students’ agricultural interest. These findings suggest that psychological factors and technological familiarity play an important role in shaping youth perceptions and interest toward agricultural careers. This study contributes empirical evidence on youth engagement in agriculture from an emerging agricultural region and highlights the importance of integrating motivational strategies and technology-based learning into agricultural education. The findings provide practical implications for educators, policymakers, and educational institutions in designing programs aimed at attracting younger generations to the agricultural sector.
