PELATIHAN PENGUATAN EKONOMI MELALUI DIGITALISASI USAHA MIKRO BERBASIS SYARIAH DI PONDOK PESANTREN BUSTANUL MUTA’ALLIMIN

Abstrak

Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren) are educational institutions that not only focus on developing human resources in the fields of religious and scientific knowledge, but also have great potential in empowering micro-scale economic activities within and around the pesantren environment. Upon graduation, male and female students (santri) return to their communities, where they must adapt to their social and economic surroundings. Based on this rationale, the community service team developed a Digitalpreneur Training Program within the pesantren area. This program aims to equip santri with entrepreneurial skills (santripreneurship) and to inspire them to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset, particularly in the creative industries surrounding the pesantren. The program was carried out through socialization, training, and mentoring activities, utilizing digital tools such as social media platforms to reach broader market segments and improve financial record-keeping accuracy and efficiency. However, the program encountered challenges due to the pesantren’s policy prohibiting santri from carrying gadgets such as mobile phones, which are essential tools for digital marketing and promotion. The evaluation results showed an increase in the students’ motivation, knowledge, and interest in entrepreneurship, demonstrating the positive impact of the program on fostering an entrepreneurial culture among santri.
