Abstract

The biggest challenge for students, including those at Serambi Mekkah University (USM), is that after completing their academic studies, they often assume they must either become employees at an institution or aspire to become Civil Servants (PNS) or work for large private companies in high-ranking positions to secure income or a salary. Therefore, there is a need for training to change the mindset of graduates or alumni from being job seekers to becoming job creators. This training/workshop activity took place at the Serambi Mekkah University campus in Banda Aceh. It was held for 3 days from December 20th to December 22nd, 2022. The program's partners or target participants were students from the Faculty of Education who already had or were planning to start a business, totaling 50 individuals. The implementation method included entrepreneurship development workshops covering preparation, understanding, training/workshops, mentoring, and evaluation. The outcome of this training was that participants gained an understanding of the importance of entrepreneurship for self-reliance. Through this PKM (Community Service Program), there was a noticeable increase in participants' understanding and interest in entrepreneurship.

Abstract

Women’s economic empowerment through micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) is widely recognized as an important strategy for supporting household livelihoods and local economic resilience. However, women entrepreneurs continue to face structural and socio-cultural constraints, particularly in rural contexts. This study aims to explore how women-owned MSMEs are experienced in relation to family welfare and how empowerment is shaped by Islamic values and local wisdom in Aceh Besar Regency. This study employed a qualitative field research approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation involving 12 women MSME actors selected using purposive sampling. Participants were aged 20–45 years, engaged in culinary, handicraft, and small-scale retail businesses, with business experience ranging from 1 to 10 years. Each interview lasted approximately 45–60 minutes. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The findings suggest that participants reported contributing to household income, particularly in meeting daily needs and supporting children’s education. MSME activities were also described as helping households manage financial uncertainty. Participants indicated that Islamic values, such as honesty, fairness, and avoidance of riba, along with local practices such as community cooperation, influenced business practices and supported customer trust. At the same time, participants reported ongoing challenges, including limited access to capital, markets, and technology. These findings suggest that women’s involvement in MSMEs is perceived as meaningful for household welfare, while also being shaped by broader structural and socio-cultural contexts.
