<![CDATA[The quality of education in Indonesia remains a serious concern, particularly due to the low performance of teachers, which directly impacts national competitiveness and human resource development. This study is grounded in human resource management theory, specifically training and development, which emphasizes the role of structured job training to enhance employee performance. The research aims to examine the influence of in-the-job training and off-the-job training on improving the performance of early childhood education teachers in Sumbersari, Jember. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest method was employed. The sample consisted of 50 teachers selected through purposive sampling from the PAUD teacher working group in Sumbersari District. Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant difference in teacher performance before and after the training intervention, with the mean score increasing from 69.56 to 77.42, and a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05. It is concluded that both in-the-job and off-the-job training effectively improve teacher performance. It is recommended that educational institutions regularly integrate such training models into professional development programs to sustain teacher competency enhancement.
