This Community Service Activity (PKM) aims to improve the understanding and skills of students at Harapan Bersama Vocational School, particularly those majoring in Hospitality, regarding ethics and grooming as preparation for Field Work Practices (PKL). The identified issue is the lack of student awareness about the importance of maintaining a professional attitude, presenting an appearance that meets industry standards, and applying proper ethics in service. To address this, the activity was implemented using an educational and participatory approach, which included the delivery of theoretical materials, hands-on practice, interactive discussions, and evaluations through pretest and posttest assessments. The results of the activity demonstrated a significant improvement in students' understanding, with the average pretest score of 61.25 increasing to 86.40 on the posttest. This indicates that the training successfully enhanced students' knowledge about the importance of ethics and grooming in the professional setting. Additionally, 100% of the participants reported that the training was useful and satisfying. This program had a positive impact in preparing students mentally and professionally for their future roles in the hospitality industry. The students not only gained insights into the ethical standards and grooming expected in the workplace, but also improved their professional attitudes and communication skills, which are crucial for succeeding in the competitive hotel industry. Furthermore, the training also contributed to fostering greater confidence in students, helping them adapt to the demands of the real-world work environment. This activity serves as an effective model for equipping vocational students with essential skills for their transition from education to professional practice, particularly in the service sector.
