Abstract

Vocational education must adapt to the demands of the industrial era by integrating academic mastery with practical competencies aligned with industry standards. This community service initiative involves collaboration between SMK Tritech Informatika Medan and a partner university to improve students’ performance in the Accounting Competency Test (UKK). The program focuses on enhancing students’ understanding of accounting concepts and practical applications through intensive mentoring, simulation-based training, and curriculum alignment. The activities engaged 12 students and several instructors through methods such as workshops, guided practice, discussions, and assessments. University lecturers and students served as academic facilitators, offering innovative and interactive learning approaches. The results, measured through pre-test and post-test instruments, indicate a significant improvement in students’ comprehension, confidence, and readiness for the UKK. Furthermore, the program strengthened teachers’ pedagogical capacity and enriched curriculum design with an industry-based perspective. This collaborative model demonstrates the effectiveness of structured synergy between vocational schools and higher education in shaping job-ready graduates and should be considered for wider application across different vocational fields.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to enhance the quality of the Accounting Vocational Competency Examination (Ujian Kompetensi Keahlian/UKK) at SMK Muhammadiyah 6 Medan through the active involvement of academic professionals as strategic partners. The school faces several challenges, including limited access to qualified external examiners, a lack of integration between the school curriculum and industry standards, and the need to improve the validity of assessment instruments. The program was conducted through several stages: needs assessment, training in competency-based test development, technical assistance during the UKK implementation, and evaluation of exam outcomes. The results indicate that the involvement of academicians not only improved the validity and reliability of the UKK process but also strengthened the linkage between secondary education and higher education institutions. Moving forward, this collaboration is expected to continue through curriculum alignment and teacher competency development.

Abstract

Digital technology is indispensable and vital nowadays. The swift advancement of information technology in today's globalized society necessitates that individuals possess the capability to effectively employ technology. This is equally pertinent to the younger generation or students. Educational institutions must combine entrepreneurial education with digital technology into their curriculum and include components of extracurricular activities. This community service initiative involves Tunas Harapan Vocational High School as the partner. Additionally, the challenge within this community service involves fostering student enthusiasm for engaging in business activities or entrepreneurship, educating SKM Tunas Harapan students on utilizing the Canva digital platform for commercial purposes, and offering training to enable students to design for entrepreneurial or business endeavors.
