Abstract

The management of used cooking oil remains a serious environmental issue, as it is classified as hazardous waste that can contaminate soil and water if disposed of improperly. On the other hand, used cooking oil holds high economic potential and can be utilized through the circular economy concept to create value-added products. This community service program aimed to enhance the awareness and skills of students from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Makassar, in processing used cooking oil into aromatherapy candles as a form of green entrepreneurship. The training was conducted through socialization, education, demonstration, and hands-on practice using purified used cooking oil mixed with stearic acid and essential oils. Evaluation results showed that 85% of participants improved their understanding of waste management and candle-making techniques, while 72% expressed interest in developing this product as a sustainable business idea supported by digital marketing. This activity successfully integrated environmental education, entrepreneurial innovation, and student empowerment through the application of circular economy principles. Therefore, the program not only provided a solution to the waste oil problem but also fostered sustainable and socially responsible entrepreneurial mindsets among students.

Abstract

This community service activity addressed the need to strengthen the ability of Accounting Education students at Universitas Negeri Makassar to design digital learning modules that are relevant to the ongoing transformation of education. Many students are familiar with digital tools for learning, yet they still require structured guidance to develop teaching materials that are systematic, interactive, and suitable for classroom use. The activity aimed to improve students’ understanding of digital learning modules and to train them to produce initial module drafts based on accounting learning topics. The program was conducted on April 6, 2026, in a classroom setting and involved 70 students. The implementation used a participatory training approach through material presentation, demonstration, guided practice, discussion, and mentoring. The results showed that the activity increased students’ understanding of the structure and function of digital learning modules and encouraged active participation throughout the training process. Students were able to develop initial digital module drafts and demonstrated greater confidence in integrating pedagogical and digital elements into learning materials. In conclusion, the training contributed positively to the development of students’ academic and professional readiness and can be further expanded through follow-up mentoring, product refinement, and classroom-based implementation.
