Abstract

In today’s competitive labor market, many graduates, particularly those from Islamic business faculties, struggle to secure jobs that match their qualifications and ensure sustainable income. There is growing concern about the gap between educational preparation and post-graduation earnings, especially regarding the effectiveness of structured career preparation programs. This study aims to examine the influence of three key career preparation strategies: industrial internships, career counseling training, and career workshops on the earnings of graduates from Islamic business education programs. Using a quantitative approach, the study employs Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to analyze data collected from a sample of 347 students out of a total population of 2,617 from the Faculty of Islamic Economics and Business at Sheikh Abdul Halim Hasan Binjai Institute. The findings show that the three variables industrial internships, career counseling training, and career workshops, have a significant and positive impact on graduate income. Internships provide real-world experience that enhances employability, counseling supports informed career decision-making, and workshops strengthen soft skills relevant to the labor market. Career preparation programs play an essential role in improving the economic outcomes of Islamic business graduates. Higher education institutions should integrate practical activities, consultation, and skill enhancement to bridge the gap between academic learning and labor market demands. This study uniquely contributes to the literature by focusing on career preparation in the context of Islamic higher education, an area that remains largely under-researched. It offers empirical evidence of how structured interventions can increase graduate income and provides strategic insights for curriculum developers, policymakers, and educational institutions seeking to improve graduate employability through holistic preparation mechanisms.

Abstract

This study examines strategies for implementing halal certification for MSMEs in Doloksanggul, Humbang Hasundutan Regency, North Sumatra, where Muslims are a minority. Halal certification is vital for catering to Muslim consumers, but its adoption is low—only 0.5% of 288 culinary businesses are certified. Challenges include perceptions of unnecessary certification, limited information, and a lack of awareness about its economic benefits. Despite some government outreach improving awareness, more consistent education and collaboration are needed. The study recommends strategies that consider local cultural dynamics and emphasize enhancing infrastructure, access, and training to boost MSME competitiveness and market reach. Public interest statement: This study is significant for MSMEs in Doloksanggul as it raises awareness about halal certification in areas with minority Muslim populations. It enhances competitiveness, draws in Muslim customers, and offers suggestions for successful government initiatives, ultimately aiding local economic development and community well-being around the Lake Toba tourism area.
