<![CDATA[This community service program aimed to strengthen digital competencies among human resources in Aceh Barat Regency. A participatory approach combined needs assessment, practical training, mentoring, and evaluation involving 53 participants from seven partner organizations. Evaluation used pre-test and post-test scores, practical tasks, follow-up observation and interviews, and a participant satisfaction questionnaire. The mean test score increased from 42.3 to 78.6 (a 36.3-point increase), and 49 participants (92.5%) improved their scores. A total of 47 participants (88.7%) achieved at least a good practical score, 38 (71.7%) were reported to apply information technology at work about one month after training, and 48 (90.6%) were satisfied or very satisfied. Reported constraints included limited device access, varied initial digital skills, and unstable internet in some partner locations. A participant-reported reduction in report preparation time and early digital marketing adoption among some MSME participants suggest potential practical benefits, but objective productivity and economic effects were not established because standardized before-after measures and a comparison group were unavailable. The findings support continued mentoring and more systematic follow-up measurement]]>
