Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that the best rule of 2 itemsets has a support of 39% and a confidence of 67%, the best rule of 3 itemsets has a support of 13% and a confidence of 81%, the best rule of 4 itemsets has a support of 6% and a confidence of 82%, and the best rule of 5 itemsets has a support of 3% and a confidence of 100%.  After analyzing data using the Apriori method and RapidMiner application on 539 MSIB student soft skills data, it was found that there was a significant relationship between MBKM activities followed by students and the improvement of their soft skills and these findings also show that the less frequent value is set, the more data can be processed, as well as the minimum support value and confidence value, where the smaller the value determined, the more association results will be issued.
