Abstract

In today’s era of globalization, digital transformation, and increasingly competitive job markets, high school (SMA) and vocational school (SMK) students are expected to excel not only in academics but also in essential life skills. Abilities such as managing digital information and communicating professionally are now critical assets for building a career and achieving independence. Unfortunately, many graduates still face a gap between the skills they have and what the professional world requires. For instance, they often lack proficiency in productive digital tools like Microsoft Excel and have little awareness of the importance of developing a personal digital brand through platforms such as LinkedIn or professional email. To address this gap, the Professional Life Skills Training program was introduced as a strategic initiative to help SMAK St. Louis 2 students grow holistically and strengthen their future competitiveness. This training goes beyond teaching technical skills; it also fosters the mindset and attitudes needed to thrive in the 21st-century workplace.

Abstract

Perubahan iklim merupakan tantangan global yang berdampak luas, termasuk di Indonesia dan Australia. Salah satu dampak utamanya adalah peningkatan emisi gas rumah kaca (GRK), terutama karbon dioksida (CO₂), yang berkontribusi signifikan terhadap pemanasan global. Berdasarkan tujuan ke-13 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), pengurangan emisi GRK menjadi indikator utama dalam upaya mitigasi perubahan iklim. International Energy Agency (IEA) menunjukkan bahwa emisi CO₂ dari penggunaan energi fosil, mencerminkan tren kenaikan selama lima dekade terakhir. Di Indonesia, sektor ketenagalistrikan, transportasi, dan industri merupakan penyumbang utama emisi karbon, sedangkan di Australia, sektor energi, pertambangan, dan transportasi memainkan peran serupa. Kedua negara memiliki potensi besar dalam pengurangan emisi melalui pemanfaatan sumber daya alam yang melimpah. Hutan hujan tropis Indonesia menyerap CO₂ melalui proyek reboisasi dan pengelolaan hutan berkelanjutan. Australia memiliki peluang signifikan melalui proyek offset karbon di sektor pertanian, energi terbarukan, dan konservasi lahan, yang dikelola melalui skema Australian Carbon credit Units (ACCU). Pemerintah di kedua negara telah menunjukkan komitmen melalui regulasi yang mendorong perdagangan karbon. Indonesia memberlakukan regulasi terkait carbon credit pada tahun 2023, membuka peluang pasar karbon domestik. Di Australia, Clean Energy Regulator mengawasi pelaksanaan ACCU dan Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF), yang memperkuat peran sektor swasta dalam pengurangan emisi. Sebagai respons terhadap kebutuhan ini, XcareCo hadir sebagai platform perdagangan karbon yang menghubungkan perusahaan dengan emisi tinggi dan investor yang peduli lingkungan dengan proyek-proyek offset karbon terverifikasi di Indonesia dan Australia. Platform ini menawarkan solusi digital yang mudah, transparan, dan terintegrasi untuk membantu perusahaan memenuhi regulasi karbon, menyusun laporan keberlanjutan, serta mendukung pencapaian target net-zero. Dengan akses eksklusif ke proyek-proyek kredibel, XcareCo tidak hanya memberikan keuntungan finansial dan reputasi positif bagi perusahaan, tetapi juga berkontribusi langsung dalam mitigasi perubahan iklim global.

Abstract

The disruptive situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have intensified economic challenges in rural areas, underscoring the urgency of building rural economic resilience. This study explores a model for revitalizing the local economy in Puhsarang Village in East Java, Indonesia. The project was developed as a community service collaboration among universities in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, programming a digital transformation for a tourism-based context. Seventeen micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) participated in the community service project, selected through purposive sampling in collaboration with the local church. Entrepreneurs, ranging from religious souvenir shops to food vendors, benefited from a tailored program in product development and digital marketing. The impact of the service-learning was studied by employing a mixed-methods approach. The data was collected through qualitative interviews and questionnaires and analyzed quantitatively as a post-program evaluation. Key findings highlight the potential of semi-outdoor diners, woodcraft workshops, and religious tourism products to expand market reach via online platforms. The collaboration community program engaged seven lecturers and 27 students to apply academic knowledge and intercultural skills in real-world settings, with above-average evaluation scores reflecting its impact. Results show increased sales and improved business capacity among participants, as perceived benefits and experiential outcomes of the program. This initiative demonstrates how cross-cultural collaboration in community service, when aligned with digital transformation strategies, can foster sustainable and inclusive growth, offering practical insights for strengthening rural economies in line with the SDGs.
