Abstrak: Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan membangun mental dan soft skill peserta agar siap kerja dan berwirausaha, khususnya dalam menghadapi peluang kerja di Jepang. Melalui seminar motivasi, peserta dibekali keterampilan komunikasi, kepemimpinan, dan manajemen waktu yang esensial di dunia kerja.

Abstract: This service activity aims to develop participants' mindset and soft skills to prepare them for employment and entrepreneurship, particularly in pursuing job opportunities in Japan. Through a motivational seminar, participants are equipped with essential workplace skills such as communication, leadership, and time management. The partner institution, SMKN Jeunieb in Aceh, faces challenges including students’ low enthusiasm and self-confidence in learning the Japanese language, which impacts their motivation to prepare for careers in Japan. The seminar also provides insights into Japanese work culture and strategies to navigate the global job market. Collaboration between educational institutions and industry is expected to enhance the relevance of participants' competencies and improve their competitiveness. The expected outcomes of this program include increased job opportunities in Japan and a stronger entrepreneurial spirit among participants, enabling them to create new job opportunities. This initiative represents a concrete step in supporting youth readiness to face global challenges.
