<![CDATA[Purpose: This study aimed to explore the educational and professional development needs of Babinsa (Village Guidance Non-Commissioned Officers) and develop a proposed community-based education framework through collaboration among academics, local governments, and entrepreneurs. Methodology: This research applies a qualitative descriptive method using data from regional apparatus, academics, and local government. The dual training system begins with academics providing educational materials to Babinsa, who then conduct community education programs in their respective areas. The three-year program allows Babinsa to obtain a Bachelor of Education degree. Results: This study proposes a community-based education framework for Babinsa professional development, emphasizing collaboration among academics, local governments, and entrepreneurs. The framework outlines potential educational pathways to support competency development and territorial human resource capacity building. Conclusions: The proposed framework provides a conceptual approach to the professional development of Babinsa through collaborative community-based education. Further implementation and empirical evaluation are required to determine its effectiveness in practice. Limitations: This study is descriptive and lacks quantitative evaluation of outcomes. Further research should measure long-term impacts. Contributions: This study contributes a proposed collaborative education framework that integrates academic, governmental, and entrepreneurial roles in the professional development of Babinsa, providing a foundation for future implementation and evaluation.]]>
