The training method included needs analysis, interactive lectures, technical practice, and evaluation through pre- and post-tests. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in participant understanding, with the high category increasing from 19.35% to 60.48%. Cross-sector collaboration has proven effective in bridging theory and practice, accelerating the halal certification process, and strengthening halal business networks at the local level.
