JIHS Polytechnic Jakarta International holds entrepreneurship training for students

Politeknik Jakarta Internasional (JIHS) is committed to its mission of community service, recently organizing an innovative entrepreneurship training program for students at PKBM Teladan Ciracas in East Jakarta. The initiative, held on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, aimed to instill an entrepreneurial spirit in the participating students.

The training focused on the rapidly growing creative non-alcoholic beverage industry. Participants learned to prepare mocktails, blending fruits, herbs, and natural ingredients. This segment was chosen for its potential to create new business opportunities for young people, requiring relatively affordable initial capital and offering high aesthetic value.

Sessions included a seminar on "Building an Entrepreneurial Spirit" by Dr. Hugo Aries Suprapto, M.Pd, covering market analysis and Gen Z mentality. JIHS lecturer Rochiyat Setiawan provided guidance on resume writing and job interview techniques. The core of the training involved hands-on practice in creating two signature mocktails: 'Golden Citrus Glow' and 'Nusantara Herbal Spark,' led by JIHS Hospitality students.

Further modules covered digital marketing strategies, attractive packaging techniques, and pricing. Taufik Hidayat, the event's chief organizer from JIHS, emphasized that contemporary entrepreneurship involves creating added value from affordable resources. He stated, "Through entrepreneurship training, we equip PKBM students with formal and informal skills, not just in mixing drinks, but also in professionally articulating their self-worth and entrepreneurial potential."

The program aligns with JIHS's commitment as a vocational institution to produce globally competitive graduates in tourism, hospitality, communication, and digital business. The community service project bridges academic expertise with real-world community needs, supporting the development of superior Indonesian human resources.
