This limitation hinders their ability to meet the demands of industries increasingly engaged in cooperation with Chinese companies. The urgency of Business Mandarin training lies in the growing need for a workforce that not only possesses technical expertise but can also communicate effectively in multicultural environments. Proficiency in Business Mandarin serves as a significant competitive advantage for SMK graduates, enhancing their employability in the global labor market. The <em>Business Mandarin and CV Writing Training Program</em> aims to equip students with practical business communication skills and professional CV writing abilities. This program is expected to strengthen the competitiveness of SMK graduates while bridging the gap between education and industry needs in the <em>Industry 5.0</em> era.</p> Sheyla Silvia Siregar, Sintia Nursafitri , Stanny Dewanty Rehatta Copyright (c) 2025 Majalah Ilmiah UPI YPTK https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://jmi-upiyptk.org/ojs/index.php/jmi/article/view/179 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Understanding Digital Image Processing in Object Identification Against the Development of Information Technology https://jmi-upiyptk.org/ojs/index.php/jmi/article/view/174 <p>Digital image processing is one of the important branches of computer science that plays a major role in supporting accurate and efficient object identification. This service aims to analyze the extent to which understanding the concepts and techniques of digital image processing can contribute to the progress of object identification, especially in the context of the increasingly rapid development of information technology. By using a descriptive-qualitative approach and literature study, this service uses various image processing methods such as segmentation, edge detection, and machine learning-based classification and others. The data used in this service is secondary data as an implementation of the object process in digital image processing for students' understanding of object detection. The results show that a deep understanding of image processing not only improves the accuracy of object identification, but also opens up opportunities for application development in various fields such as security, health, agriculture, and the manufacturing industry and this service can provide education for students to learn about the development of information technology in digital images. Thus, digital image processing is an important component in supporting digital transformation and information technology innovation in the future. </p> Wahyu Saptha Negoro, Asbon Hendra Azhar, Ratih Adinda Destari, Soeheri Copyright (c) 2025 Majalah Ilmiah UPI YPTK https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://jmi-upiyptk.org/ojs/index.php/jmi/article/view/174 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Empowerment of Harapan Farmer Group through Innovation of Processed Orange Peel Products in Baruah Gunuang, Payakumbuh https://jmi-upiyptk.org/ojs/index.php/jmi/article/view/175 <p>This community service was carried out at the Harapan Farmers Group in Jorong Baruah Gunuang, Bukit Barisan District, which faces the problem of low income and lack of utilization of orange peel waste. This activity aims to increase people's income through: 1) innovation in processing orange peel into products of economic value, such as candied orange peel, orange jam, orange jelly, and natural pesticides. Next 2) knowledge of processing management and the results of innovation. The methods used include counseling, training, and direct assistance to members of farmer groups. The results of the activity showed an increase in knowledge from 42% to 91% and members had skills in processing orange peels, as well as orange juice, from the leftover oranges selected from sales to middlemen. So the formation of several innovative orange-based products, as well as the emergence of new business opportunities that have the potential to increase group income. Likewise, there is already a brand of the product and is in the process of obtaining a PIRT permit from the Health Office.
