The program was conducted through blended learning, consisting of face-to-face sessions on 10–11 June 2026 at Aston Hotel Jambi and online sessions from 14–21 June 2026. The findings reveal that the PKDP was implemented systematically and effectively enhanced participants' pedagogical, professional, social, and academic competencies. The program materials also strengthened participants' readiness, enthusiasm, and commitment to carrying out the Tri Dharma of Higher Education. These findings indicate that PKDP is an effective strategy for developing novice lecturer professionalism and improving the quality of human resources in Islamic higher education.]]>
