The rapid changes in the world of work due to technological developments, digitalization, and globalization require the readiness of adaptive, flexible, and competent Human Resources (HR). In this context, students at Vocational High Schools (SMK), especially SMK AT-Taufiqiyyah, as prospective future workforce, need to be equipped with competencies that are relevant to the needs of the current and future industries. These competencies not only include technical skills (hard skills), but also include Future Work Competencies such as critical thinking, adaptability, collaboration, digital literacy, effective communication, and mental resilience. The Student Creativity Program (PKM) aims to design a student human resource development program based on Future Work Competency to prepare them to face a dynamic and uncertain world of work. The approach used in this program is a combination of project-based training, soft skills training, and work environment simulation adapted to the challenges of the industrial world 4.0 and 5.0. This program is also designed to encourage the development of students who are competitive, innovative, and able to work collaboratively across fields. The program design method is carried out through several stages, namely: (1) identification of future competency needs through literature studies and interviews with industry, (2) mapping the conditions and needs of SMK AT-Taufiqiyyah students, (3) designing training modules and self-development activities based on future work competencies, and (4) limited trials of some students as pilot projects. It is hoped that this program can be a model for the development of vocational school human resources that is contextual and relevant to the dynamics of the job market. In addition, the results of this program can be used by the school to develop a long-term strategy in preparing graduates who are superior and ready to work in an era that continues to change.
