Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has brought about significant changes in various aspects of life, including the world of work. One skill that is now highly sought after by job seekers is digital platform-based communication skills. This skill is crucial for building a professional image, expanding networks, and increasing employment opportunities. In response to this need, a digital communication training program was held in Kartasura District with the aim of improving the practical skills of job seekers, particularly high school/vocational school graduates and final-year college students. The training was conducted face-to-face using a participatory approach, combining conceptual material delivery with hands-on practice sessions. The training focused on utilizing professional platforms such as LinkedIn and social media platforms like Instagram, which have become essential tools in the job search and personal branding process. A total of 42 participants attended the training, with diverse educational backgrounds and interests but a common desire to be more competitive in the digital job market. The training results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of professional communication in the digital realm. Participants also gained practical skills in creating attractive LinkedIn profiles, creating content relevant to industry needs, and managing their online self-image. Furthermore, this training created a collaborative space between participants and presenters through a WhatsApp group, which later developed into a platform for sharing information about job openings, career tips, and ongoing discussions. The findings from this training underscore the importance of integrating digital communication training into workforce development programs, particularly in buffer urban areas like Kartasura. This effort serves as an adaptive strategy to address the challenges of digital transformation while empowering the younger generation to be better prepared for job competition in the digital era.
