Abstract

Micro Waqf Banks (MWBs) in Indonesia play a vital role in financing and supporting micro-entrepreneurs, particularly within pesantren communities. The study aims to identify and analyse strategic priorities that MWBs can adopt to enhance job creation, focusing specifically on entrepreneurship within livestock clusters. A qualitative case study approach was employed, gathering data through questionnaires and in-depth interviews with supervisors, managers, and customers from three MWBs in Banten Province: El Manahij, Lan Taburo, and An Nawawi. Data validity was ensured by source triangulation, and analysis was performed using the Analytical Network Process technique supported by Super Decisions software. Findings reveal that job creation is a central priority in entrepreneurship development within MWBs, primarily through the livestock cluster model. This priority is underpinned by three interrelated components of financing: ease of access, business assistance and mentoring, livestock technical training, marketing, and managerial support. The study highlights the crucial role of MWBs in supporting SMEs by integrating these strategies effectively. Through targeted mentoring programmes, flexible financing schemes compliant with Islamic principles, and comprehensive entrepreneurship training, MWBs can unlock significant employment opportunities for micro-entrepreneurs engaged in livestock activities. Policy recommendations urge the government and stakeholders to prioritise enhanced support for mentoring, financing, and entrepreneurship training tailored to MWBs. Future research should explore the applicability of these strategic priorities in other regions and evaluate different mentoring models to generalise findings and optimise MWB strategies nationwide.

Abstract

The Islamic boarding school that organises the community work training centre is a collaborative program to help students improve their life skills and achieve entrepreneurial independence. The purpose of the study was to analyse the priority factors of entrepreneurial life skills in Islamic boarding schools that organised community work training centres. The research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. A sample was collected using purposive sampling at the Raudlatul Athfal Islamic boarding school in Serang Regency, the organiser of the community work training centre. The informant is the manager of the community work training centre, as well as the trainee and manager of the Islamic boarding school. Data collection involves the use of questionnaires, interviews, and literature studies, and the testing of validity through triangulation of the sources. The data analysis uses descriptive statistics, while the technique uses the Analysis Network Process (ANP) with Super Decision. The study's findings indicate that the factors influencing entrepreneurial life skills encompass academic, rational thinking, self-awareness, social, and vocational aspects. Knowing yourself is a priority factor in determining entrepreneurial life skills at Islamic boarding schools that organise community work training centres. This research has implications for the significance of strengthening the aspect of self-knowledge in the development of entrepreneurial life skills in Islamic boarding schools that organise community work training centres. Its limitations include limited coverage of areas and samples, as well as the use of qualitative approaches. Further research is suggested to expand the area, use quantitative methods, and develop more standardised life skill assessment instruments.
