Abstract
Vocational education plays a strategic role in preparing graduates who are not only ready for employment but also capable of becoming entrepreneurs. However, entrepreneurship learning in vocational schools still tends to emphasize cognitive and technical aspects, leaving human skills such as communication, leadership, collaboration, empathy, and problem-solving underdeveloped. This community service program was conducted at SMK PGRI 2 Badung through intensive training to enhance students' entrepreneurial abilities by strengthening their human skills. The implementation method included interactive workshops, role-plays, group simulations, and pre-test and post-test evaluations. The results showed significant improvements in communication (46%), collaboration (42%), leadership (38%), and self-confidence (45%), while student reflections also indicated greater empathy and problem-solving abilities. The activity proved effective despite its short duration and is considered relevant to be replicated in other vocational schools to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 4 (Quality Education) and 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).
