Abstrak
The KKN-T program, which is an integrated community service program of the Thematic Field Study Program (KKN), is a program of the Halu Oleo University Research and Community Service Institute (LPPM UHO) that is carried out every year. The Thematic KKN team in this journal served at SMK Negeri 4 Kendari with the aim of improving the competence of students majoring in Software Engineering (RPL) in the use of Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and the preparation of Curriculum Vitae (CV). The activities were carried out through stages of preparation, training, mentoring, and evaluation using a learning by doing method that emphasizes hands-on practice. The results show a significant improvement in skills in compiling formal documents, processing data using basic formulas and graphs, and creating CVs in accordance with workplace standards. Intensive mentoring and interactive learning media helped overcome initial limitations in mastery, although there were still obstacles in the form of limited time and differences in students' levels of understanding. Overall, this activity contributed to equipping students with practical skills relevant to industry needs and supported their readiness to enter the workforce. Recommendations were directed toward the sustainability of the program through integrated modules and periodic mentoring to ensure more continuous benefits.
