Abstract

This research aims to examine the synergy between public policy and women's empowerment through skills training as a strategy to strengthen the family economy in the ‘Bangga Kencana’ programme in Wonoayu Village, Wajak District, Malang Regency. This research uses a qualitative case study approach, using in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis. Data were analysed using thematic analysis to identify patterns and relationships between policy support and training effectiveness. Coding techniques were applied to categorise key themes relating to skills improvement, economic impact, and program challenges. The results showed that 70% of participants experienced improved skills, and household income increased by 15-25% within six months. However, only 40% received post-training mentoring, limiting the long-term impact. The main challenges faced were limited access to finance (50%), limited market networks (30%), and social norms (20%) that inhibit women's economic participation. While existing public policies aim to support women's empowerment, there are still gaps in implementation, requiring a more integrated approach. This study highlights the importance of integrating policy interventions with local needs by enhancing financial accessibility, expanding market linkages, and ensuring continuous mentoring to sustain empowerment outcomes. The research provides practical policy recommendations to strengthen women’s economic participation, contributing to poverty reduction, gender equality, and sustainable rural development.

This weaving craft has been passed down thru generations, representing the ancestral heritage of the people of South Pringgasela Village. However, the woven fabric produced is not yet widely known. This is due to the lack of promotion and the weavers' lack of technological literacy, particularly in digital marketing. This community service aims to optimize digital marketing thru both the Shopee marketplace and social media as platforms for product marketing and promotion strategies to increase the sales of woven products from weavers who are members of the "Nina Penenun" group. Meanwhile, the methods used range from planning, work programs, descriptions, and technology, to this sustainable program plan, which utilizes the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. This community service was carried out in several stages, starting with (1) an introduction to digital marketing in general and the creation of a "Shopee" marketplace account, (2) socialization and mentoring on the use of the "Shopee" marketplace and social media, and (3) the use of the "Shopee" marketplace and social media application. The participants in this mentoring program were 14 members of the Nina Weavers Group. The results of this mentoring activity showed that the Nina Weavers Group was able to use the marketplace and social media, and the weavers were able to design and promote their products attractively. Additionally, they developed online marketing strategies thru the Shopee application and social media to increase their product sales. Keywords: weaving craftsmen; digital marketing; marketplace; marketing strategy; social media.

Abstract

The high unemployment rate in Madiun Regency, reaching 4.34% in 2024, surpassing the East Java Province average of 4.19%, indicates that effective policy interventions are needed, particularly job training programs. Using the case study of LPK Aclasindo Inti Persada. This research aims to evaluate the overview of the job training program, assess its effectiveness, and identify obstacles in its implementation in an effort to reduce unemployment rates. This study conducted qualitative research with a case study design. The purposive sampling technique was used to select informants, and the research population consisted of institution managers and community members who participated in the training. Data collection was conducted thru observation, interviews, and documentation. Meanwhile, data analysis was carried out using a qualitative descriptive method consisting of the stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results show that effective job training improves competence, readiness, and workforce absorption thru alignment with industry needs and partnerships with companies. However, the impact has not been optimal due to low community participation, limited access to information and training, and minimal work experience. Moreover, structural barriers such as the limited job market continue to restrict the contribution of training in reducing unemployment. The research conclusion states that the success of the program is not only measured by the quality of training and the absorption capacity of graduates but also considers the level of participation, available job opportunities, and public perception. Therefore, strengthening the synergy between training institutions, the government, and the industrial sector, along with increasing outreach to the community, is key to building a sustainable and impactful job training model.
