The Community Service Program (KKN) was implemented with the aim of fostering and enhancing the entrepreneurial spirit and skills of Junior High School (SMP) students through an Entrepreneurship Workshop at SMP PAB 23 Bandar Klippa. This program was designed using a practice-based participatory learning approach (learning by doing), which positions students as active subjects in all stages of the activity, from planning, production, to product marketing. A total of 39 seventh grade students were directly involved in this activity. Through this experiential learning process, students had the opportunity to develop creative thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills in a real-life setting. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in several entrepreneurial indicators, namely student self-confidence increased from 55% to 85%, communication skills from 60% to 88%, and interest in entrepreneurship from 50% to 83%. These findings prove that the practice-based learning method is effective in fostering an entrepreneurial mindset and independent character in students. Furthermore, this Community Service Program (KKN) activity demonstrates collaboration between universities and schools in implementing contextual and applicable entrepreneurship education. It also has the potential to be developed as a sustainable learning model to support the achievement of the Pancasila Student Profile, particularly in the dimensions of creativity, independence, and mutual cooperation.

This study aims to examine the effect of student involvement in Student Activity Units (UKM) on the development of soft skills. A quantitative approach using the survey method was employed in this research. The research population consisted of 455 fourth-semester students from STIE Wibawa Karta Raharja (Wikara Business School). The sample was determined using the Slovin formula with a 5% margin of error. Data were collected using a questionnaire based on a 1–5 Likert scale, which was distributed online via Google Forms. The independent variable is student involvement in UKM, assessed through three indicators: participation level, duration of involvement, and organizational membership status. The dependent variable is soft skills, encompassing seven dimensions: public speaking, entrepreneurship, teamwork, leadership, problem solving, critical and creative thinking, and time management. The test results indicate that student activity in UKM has a significant effect on soft skills, with a path coefficient of 0.679 and a p-value of 0.000. The R-square value of 0.371 suggests that student activities account for 37.1% of the variance in soft skills, while the f-square value of 0.590 indicates a strong effect size. The strongest indicators of soft skills development are public speaking, problem-solving, and leadership. These findings suggest that active involvement in student organizations (UKM) can serve as a strategic means to enhance students’ non-technical skills, which are essential for success in the professional world. Therefore, educational institutions should continue to promote and support active participation in such organizations.
