Abstract

Children with special needs need vocational education in fashion design to become independent after graduation. This is because special needs schools (SLB) have a low understanding of the quality of learning, skills development, and intellectual property rights (HKI) for their creations, making them marketable. This Community Service Program (PkM) aimed to enhance the quality of the fashion design vocational education program through fashion skills training and intellectual property rights training for teachers and children with special needs (ABK) to prepare students' independence after graduation from SLB Kristen Pelangi Kasih, Lumajang Regency. The implementation adopted a service-learning approach, which consisted of several stages: problem identification, priority setting, timeline planning, implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, unstructured interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that fashion design skills, through training in painting on fabric marbelling, sewing, and cowhide painting, were successfully implemented, and the IPR training for student work provided valuable training for participating teachers. The evaluation showed that 80%-100% of participants stated that the training provided new experiences for them and positively contributed to enhancing the creativity of children with special needs at the SLB Kristen Pelangi Kasih. Ultimately, it can be concluded that the SLB's challenges related to developing student independence can be addressed through vocational skills training supported by IPR for their products.

Abstract

The wickerwork home industry in Jombang Regency, which utilizes screw pine and bamboo, plays an important role in local employment. However, its development remains constrained by manual production processes and limited marketing strategies. This study aims to examine the implementation of technological automation and the digitalization of promotional efforts in wickerwork home industries using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, consisting of identification, planning, action, observation, and evaluation stages. The program involved two home industries, including owners and employees, in adopting simple automation technologies and digital marketing practices. The results indicate that the application of automation technology improved production efficiency and enabled businesses to better meet customer demand. In addition, digital promotion training covering product photography, content creation, and the use of AI tools enhanced marketing reach through social media, contributing to increased national-level demand. This study highlights that integrating automation and digital marketing can strengthen the competitiveness of small-scale industries. However, sustained mentoring and multi-stakeholder support are essential to ensure long-term impact, expand employment opportunities, and promote business sustainability.
