This study aims to examine the effectiveness of graphic design training using CorelDraw software in developing students’ soft skills at SMP Ibrahimy 3 Sukorejo. Softskills such as creativity, visual communication, collaboration, and problem-solving are essential competencies that should be cultivated from an early age, especially in the digital and creative industry era. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a participatory approach through direct observation, interviews, and documentation during the training sessions. The results indicate that the training not only enhanced students’ understanding of basic graphic design techniques but also fostered self-confidence, teamwork abilities, and an appreciation of visual aesthetics. Students’ active participation in designing logos, brochures, and other promotional media served as a key indicator of the success of this contextual learning approach. Therefore, the CorelDraw training has proven to be an effective strategy for strengthening students’ soft skills and is relevant to be integrated into 21st-century skills-based educational programs.

This research examined and analysed the impact of gender diversity in the boards of directors, independent commissioners, and audit committees on the quality of a company’s earnings. The quality of earnings is a crucial marker in evaluating a company’s financial performance, which is reported to interested parties. Gender diversity is believed to enrich perspectives in the strategic decision-making process. Meanwhile, the supervisory function of independent commissioners and an effective audit committee can minimise the practice of manipulating financial statements. The research method used is quantitative, with data analysis techniques in the form of multiple linear regression. The sample consists of health and technology sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021-2023 period, with selection criteria based on purposive sampling. The study results show that the gender diversity of the board of directors, independent commissioners, and audit committees does not affect the quality of earnings. These findings suggest that the presence of women in top management strategy positions remains limited, both in terms of numbers and their roles. The unproven influence of gender diversity in this study can be caused by the uneven proportion of genders in the top management ranks. The dominance of one gender in company leadership, both men and women, is considered not optimal in encouraging company performance, including maintaining the quality of earnings. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of strengthening the supervisory function in the corporate governance structure to improve the quality of reported financial information.

The transition to Industry 5.0 necessitates a robust legal framework to regulate human capital investment, ensuring digital workforce development aligns with labor protections and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study examines the regulatory structures governing human capital investment in Indonesia, the European Union, and the United States, evaluating their effectiveness in addressing digital transformation challenges, AI-driven employment governance, and workforce adaptability. A mixed-methods approach integrates legal analysis with empirical assessments of policy effectiveness, workforce investment trends, and labor market outcomes. Findings reveal significant disparities in AI workforce governance, skill accreditation, and automation labor rights. Indonesia’s fragmented legal framework hinders workforce reskilling and AI employment governance, while the European Union’s AI Act provides a structured, albeit inconsistently implemented, model for digital employment regulation. The United States, despite its technological leadership, lacks federal AI workforce policies, leading to state-level regulatory variations. The study underscores the necessity of harmonized legal frameworks to bridge workforce skill gaps, protect labor rights, and advance SDG-aligned workforce policies. Future legal reforms must prioritize AI governance, digital workforce training, and cross-border labor protections to ensure equitable workforce transitions. Strengthening public-private partnerships, standardizing AI employment regulations, and enhancing labor rights enforcement will be essential for fostering sustainable human capital investment in the industry 5.0 era. The contribution of research extends beyond theoretical frameworks, providing substantial implications for policy formulation, industry practices, educational advancements, and societal improvements.
