Abstract This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to enhance the motivation, creativity, and human resource (HR) planning skills of students at SMKN 1 Ciruas in order to foster an entrepreneurial spirit from an early age.
The program is motivated by low learning motivation, lack of self-confidence, and limited student understanding in developing career planning and optimizing personal potential.
The implementation of the program employed expository and inquiry-based approaches.
The expository method was used to deliver fundamental concepts of HR planning, motivation, creativity, and entrepreneurship.
Meanwhile, the inquiry method was applied through group discussions, case studies, business idea brainstorming, and career planning This approach was designed to encourage active student participation and to integrate theoretical understanding with practical experience.
The results indicate an improvement in students understanding of the importance of individual-level HR planning, particularly in identifying personal potential, setting short-term and long-term goals, and designing career development strategies.
Students learning motivation and interest in entrepreneurship also increased, as reflected in active participation during discussions, increased confidence in expressing opinions, and the ability to generate creative business ideas relevant to their surrounding environment.
The impact of this program was experienced by both students and the school through the enhancement of a structured self-planning mindset and the development of an entrepreneurial culture within the school This PKM activity contributes to improving the quality of human resources among students at SMKN 1 Ciruas and strengthens the synergy between schools and higher education institutions in developing student competencies.
