Abstract

This International Community Partnership Program (PKM) aims to foster entrepreneurship potential among students at the Kota Kinabalu Indonesian School (SIKK), Sabah, Malaysia. The primary challenge facing SIKK alumni is restricted access to formal employment in Malaysia due to citizenship documentation constraints. Meanwhile, abundant local resources remain underutilized as a pathway toward economic independence. The execution method adopts an integrated approach consisting of initial observation, sustainable entrepreneurship training, technical guidance on developing local resource-based products, and marketing management mentoring. The expected outcome of this program is an enhancement in students' practical understanding and capacity to identify business opportunities, innovate products from local raw materials, and apply modern marketing strategies effectively. By cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset, SIKK students are expected to become independent, resilient, and competitive entrepreneurs after completing their formal education.
