The Level of Implementation of The PSH Program in The Beauty and Grooming Cluster to The Community Around Masjid Tanah

Abstract

Experience and skills are among the very important elements to get job opportunities and to improve the individual's socio-economic level. Therefore, Lifelong Learning (PSH) was created to meet the needs of the local community to acquire knowledge and skills to improve their socioeconomic status. Various PSH programs have been carried out, but there is still a lack of research on the level of PSH program implementation in the Beauty and Grooming cluster. Therefore, this study was carried out to find out the level of implementation of the PSH program in the Beauty and Grooming cluster in improving skills among the community around Masjid Tanah. In addition, this study was also carried out to find out the level of skill improvement of the participants in terms of age difference and education level. The instrument used is an adaptation of the Community College Impact on Local Communities questionnaire that has been developed by the JPKK Research and Innovation Center (PPI) (2017). Descriptive and inferential analysis using the Statistical Package for Social Science Software (SPSS) version 27 to measure the mean score and ANOVA. The results of the study show that the level of implementation of the beauty and grooming cluster PSH Program is at a high level of interpretation for the instructor (μ= 4.5624), the program (μ=4.5425) and the infrastructure (μ=4.3763). In addition, there is no significant difference between the improvement of skills against the age difference for the instructor factor (p=0.152) and the program (p=0.118) but there is a difference for the infrastructure factor (p=0.005). Besides, there is no significant difference between the improvement of skills and the difference in the level of education of the program participants for all three factors. The results of the study are expected to further improve the quality of short course implementation at KKMT.  Keywords: Community College, Lifelong Learning, level of implementation
