Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a pivotal role in Indonesia’s economy, particularly in the high-value fried shallot agro-industry. However, many MSMEs, such as Piknik Food, encounter persistent challenges in production and management due to manual practices, leading to limited capacity (15 packs/day), inconsistent product quality, and restricted market reach. This community engagement program employed a participatory-collaborative approach through stages: socialization, training, technology adoption, mentoring, and sustainability. Interventions emphasized smart technology-based modernization, including the application of production machinery (peeler, spinner, continuous sealer), financial digitalization, and the implementation of digital marketing strategies via social media and e-commerce platforms. The results indicated a 90% increase in production capacity (28–30 packs/day), a 32–35% reduction in oil content approaching SNI standards, improved hygienic packaging, and approximately 20% market expansion. These findings underscore that smart technology-based modernization enhances productivity, product quality, and competitiveness while supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract

The juvenile correctional system (LPKA) in Indonesia carries out a fundamental mandate to rehabilitate correctional students (Andikpas) and prevent the recurrence of criminal acts (recidivism). A crucial instrument in correctional rehabilitation is competency-based vocational training. This study aims to analyze the theoretical relevance of the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) welding training program based on the Indonesian National Work Competency Standard (SKKNI) at LPKA, identify existing structural implementation challenges, and formulate optimization strategies through a collaborative model. The results of the analysis show that welding training is a very effective strategic program. The industrial sector in Indonesia needs at least 45,000 welding experts, proving the high demand for the job market. These skills serve as a powerful catalyst to achieve desistance by providing the human capital needed to get a stable job, thus overcoming the job instability associated with the risk of repeat crime. Despite having great potential, the implementation of coaching programs at LPKA is hampered by limited funds, inadequate facilities, and a lack of expert instructor Human Resources (HR). To overcome this obstacle, it is recommended to adopt a Mutualistic Partnership model with external parties, which aims to ensure the standardization of the 320 Hours of Training (JP) curriculum in accordance with SKKNI, competency certification, and integration of vocational work readiness measurements. This partnership creates mutual benefits and strengthens LPKA's capacity on an ongoing basis.
