Peningkatan Keterampilan dan Peluang Usaha Masyarakat melalui Pembuatan Sabun Cuci Piring di Desa Sukaraja

Abstract

Community empowerment activities are one of the efforts to improve community skills and economic independence through the utilization of available local potential. One of the skills that can be developed is dishwashing liquid production, as it is a household necessity with potential to be developed into a small-scale household business. This study aims to describe the implementation of dishwashing liquid production training as well as the improvement of skills and understanding among the people of Sukaraja Village regarding the business opportunities that can be developed from this activity. The results show that the training provided the community with practical experience in understanding the materials, production processes, product packaging, and utilization of dishwashing liquid for household needs. Direct practical activities also helped improve participants' understanding and skills in independently producing the product. In addition, the community gained insight into the potential development of dishwashing liquid as a household business through appropriate product packaging and marketing. This activity demonstrates that skills-based training can serve as a form of community empowerment that connects skill development with opportunities for local economic activities.
