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 analyze the influence of Craft and Entrepreneurship Learning as well as economic literacy on entrepreneurial intention, with self-efficacy as a mediating variable among senior high school students in Ciracas, East Jakarta. The research is grounded in the issue of low entrepreneurial intention among students based on preliminary survey results, and the persistently high unemployment rate among high school graduates. This study adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method through questionnaires distributed to 11th-grade students from three schools: SMAN 99, SMAN 58, and SMAN 105 Jakarta. Data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results indicate that both Craft and Entrepreneurship Learning and economic literacy have a positive effect on self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, self-efficacy is proven to be a significant partial mediating variable in the relationship between the independent variables and entrepreneurial intention. This research recommends strengthening entrepreneurship education and improving economic literacy in schools as strategies to foster students’ confidence and entrepreneurial spirit from an early age.
