This training supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). The community service activity follows the UNJ Community Service Strategic Plan (PPM Renstra) 2021–2025, focusing on education and environmental initiatives. A needs analysis conducted at SMAN 1 Muara Gembong, particularly in the school canteen, revealed that many food items sold lacked attention to health and hygiene, and did not optimize local food products. Based on this, training on personal hygiene education for the school community is needed to support school entrepreneurship programs. The training uses a practical approach integrated with digital technology through poster creation. Results showed that participants increased their awareness of health and hygiene, which improved the quality of their entrepreneurial products. The training included material on personal hygiene in entrepreneurship, with educational posters as the output. Evaluation was done using questionnaires, with data analyzed descriptively. Expected outcomes include the publication of an article, mass media exposure, YouTube video, partnership recognition, intellectual property rights registration, educational posters, and a profile of personal hygiene education for the school community in canteen management.

The Community Service Program (KKN) of Universitas Teuku Umar for the 2025/2026 academic year, conducted in Desa Pasi Janeng, Woyla Timur Subdistrict, West Aceh Regency, focuses on the innovative use of lime (Krut nipeh) as a raw material for the production of environmentally friendly dish soap. This local resource, which has traditionally been used for domestic purposes, has not been fully exploited as a source of economic value. The program follows the POAC methodology (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling), which encompasses community outreach, soap-making workshops, hands-on production practices, and sustainability evaluations. The outcomes of this initiative include the development of an eco-friendly dish soap product, enhanced technical skills among community members, and active participation from housewives and young mothers. In the medium term, the program has succeeded in raising entrepreneurial awareness within the community, with the expectation that it will foster the establishment of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) based on local resources, thus contributing to sustainable development. Furthermore, the program aligns with the achievement of several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goals 1 (No Poverty), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), making a meaningful contribution to community service in accordance with the Tri Dharma of Higher Education.

Corn (Zea mays L.) is an important commodity in Indonesia, but in Citaman Village, Nagreg District, its utilization is still limited to fresh sales with low added value. To address this issue, a community service program was implemented that focused on empowering village women through training in processing corn into corn nuggets as an innovative product with economic value. The activity was designed with a community-based participatory approach that included coordination with village officials, extension sessions, processing demonstrations, hands-on practice, and evaluation through pre- and post-training questionnaires. The results of the activity showed that more than 85% of participants were very satisfied and more than 80% expressed a high interest in developing corn nuggets as a small-scale business opportunity. These findings indicate a significant increase in participants' knowledge, skills, and entrepreneurial motivation. The corn nugget innovation is not only a means of optimizing the use of local commodities, but is also relevant to the global trend of plant-based foods and supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Zero Hunger, Decent Work and Economic Growth, and Responsible Consumption and Production. Overall, this program proves that local food-based innovation can be used as a model for replicating community empowerment that contributes to strengthening economic resilience while encouraging sustainable development in rural areas.
