Before carrying out community service activities, it is necessary to identify the problems faced by the community, namely those affected by the social impact of layoffs, those who do not have a business unit and those who have small and medium businesses.
“The target partners in community service activities are economically productive and economically unproductive community groups. The main goal of community service activities is to improve economic and social aspects,” explained Prof. Suharman.
Sustainability in community service includes the preparation of programs that are not incidental, providing product manufacturing training starting from material preparation to the sales process, providing equipment that can be used for a relatively long period of time, providing equipment that is appropriate to the capabilities and needs of the target community and sustainable organizational arrangements.
The activity ran smoothly until 11.00 WITA and ended with a discussion session and group photo.
