The development of digital technology has had a significant impact on people's lifestyles, including the need for new skills relevant to the digital era. Non-formal education, as an educational pathway outside of formal education, plays a crucial role in improving community skills through flexible, adaptive, and needs-based programs. This article aims to examine non-formal education management strategies for improving community skills in the digital era, with an emphasis on planning, organization, implementation, and program evaluation. Theoretical studies indicate that the use of digital technology can strengthen the effectiveness of non-formal education management, particularly in the development of digital literacy, job skills, and technology-based entrepreneurship. The developed conceptual model illustrates the relationship between non-formal education management strategies, the use of digital technology, and community skill improvement, with supporting factors such as community participation and policy support. The analysis shows that management strategies integrated with the use of digital technology can accelerate community empowerment, reduce skills gaps, and encourage the creation of an adaptive, independent, and productive community in the digital era. This article is expected to provide theoretical contributions to the development of non-formal education literature, as well as practical recommendations for non-formal education institutions and program makers.
