<![CDATA[The era of digital disruption and the transition toward Society 5.0 require university graduates to develop adaptive digital competencies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy and Cyber Security awareness, as essential components of career readiness. However, preliminary observations indicated that many students still use digital technologies primarily as end users, with limited understanding of the ethical use of AI and fundamental cybersecurity practices. This Community Service Program (PkM) aimed to enhance the career readiness of students at Institut Teknologi Mitra Gama by strengthening their AI literacy and cybersecurity competencies. The program adopted a capacity-building approach through a National Seminar consisting of three stages: needs analysis, educational sessions on prompt engineering and cyber hygiene, and program evaluation. A total of 250 students participated in the program. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test instruments to measure participants' knowledge improvement, complemented by a questionnaire to assess participants' perceptions of the program's relevance and usefulness. The data were analyzed descriptively by comparing the mean pre-test and post-test scores and calculating the percentage of participants' responses. The results showed that the average score increased from 46.5 in the pre-test to 84.2 in the post-test. This improvement indicates enhanced understanding of the ethical use of AI, effective prompt engineering techniques, and basic cybersecurity practices. Furthermore, 94% of the participants reported that the program was relevant and applicable to the development of their digital competencies and professional portfolios. These findings suggest that an interactive educational approach based on industry case studies has the potential to improve students' AI literacy and cybersecurity awareness and may serve as an alternative model for strengthening digital competencies in higher education.]]>
