P-IRT Entrepreneur Development Training for Women's Groups in Aceh Utara

Abstract

The development of home industry entrepreneurs (Pelaku Industri Rumah Tangga, P-IRT) for women's communities (MSMEs) in Aceh Utara (North Aceh) in 2024 is unimpressive; from a total of 16,623 micro and small enterprises, they have not been able to contribute to the equitable distribution of welfare in Aceh Utara. P-IRT issues are further impacted by a lack of awareness and comprehension of financial reporting practices, knowledge of business management, and fundamental Islamic business concepts, in addition to a lack of the government's intent and restricted access to financing. Therefore, this service needs to be implemented to strengthen the women's groups home industry, which is the primary source of income for every family in Aceh Utara. In this activity, the implementation method is executed by initial mapping (observation), problem analysis, training assistance approaches, and evaluation. Socialization, training, mentoring, and monitoring are the phases of community service implementation for Aceh Utara's women's home industry entrepreneurs (P-IRTs). The activity's findings show that women's community entrepreneurs can more easily earn P-IRT certification by applying business management and that digital marketing is essential for boosting revenue and reaching enormous consumers. Additionally, it is simpler for P-IRT to develop a business in a more quantifiable and accountable manner when they possess structure and organized financial reporting abilities. The concept of Islamic business provides a good and in-depth understanding of running a business in accordance with Islamic principles and boosts consumers' and investors' trust. More transparent management demonstrates the benefits of this commitment.
