Abstract

Training in social media and financial literacy is crucial for enhancing the capabilities of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), especially traditional craft businesses like Sulaman and Silver Cici Koto Gadang MSME. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of these training programs on attitude formation, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, as outlined by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Through a qualitative approach involving participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and pre- and post-tests, the study reveals significant improvements in participants' ability to manage digital marketing and understand financial risks, particularly concerning illegal online loans. The results suggest that positive attitudes toward social media as a strategic marketing tool are emerging, along with a deeper understanding of financial management and the identification of illegal lending practices. Stronger perceived behavioral control, as demonstrated by increased post-test scores, encourages MSMEs to adopt safer financial practices and sustain digital marketing efforts. Overall, this study confirms that integrated interventions are effective. These interventions combine digital skills training and financial literacy. They effectively strengthen MSME resilience and competitiveness in the digital economy.

Abstract

The increasing complexity of criminal cases in West Java necessitates a critical upgrade in the competency of Indonesian National Police (Polri) investigators regarding the application of Scientific Crime Investigation (SCI) principles. A significant gap has been identified in the integrated forensic evidence handling skills (digital, biological, and chemical) at the Sub-Regional Police Resort (Polres) level, potentially compromising the accountability of criminal proceedings. This training program aimed to enhance the capacity of 40 investigators from the Jabar region through a comprehensive, integrated forensic training course. The 5-day program (September 15-19, 2025) was conducted in collaboration with the National Police's Forensic Laboratory Center (Puslabfor Bareskrim Polri), utilizing a Pretest-Posttest design and a hands-on simulation methodology. Evaluation results demonstrated an average competency score increase of 48.57% (from 55.8 to 82.9), significantly exceeding the minimum target of 25%. The most drastic improvement was observed in the Digital Forensics module (79.57%). Practically, 92.5% of participants showed enhanced technical proficiency in applying the integrated Chain of Custody (CoC) protocol. The participant satisfaction level reached 94% (4.7 out of 5.0). This training proved highly effective in bridging the competency gap, strengthening science-based investigative administration, and supporting the establishment of an accountable criminal justice system. The adoption of technical guidelines and the implementation of a sustained program are recommended for follow-up.
