Abstract: Vocational education has a strategic role in preparing the younger generation to be ready to work. As the spearhead of educational success in Vocational High Schools (SMK), teachers have a great responsibility to ensure that students acquire knowledge, skills, and work attitudes based on industry needs. This community service activity aims to improve the competence of SMK Negeri 1 Panjatan teachers through training in making liquid soap and candles as environmentally friendly products. This training is designed to support project-based learning, enrich the entrepreneurship curriculum, and encourage innovation in products that are economically and ecologically valuable. The training method includes delivering theory, direct practice, and interactive discussions. All training participants are actively involved in the process, which begins with technical briefings, introduction to materials and MSDS, and intensively guided group practice. The training results showed an increase in teacher skills in processing natural-based products, as well as the potential for developing school production units. The measurement results showed an increase in partner empowerment of 41% (soap making) and 63% (candle making). This activity is expected to be the first step towards collaboration between education and industry while strengthening the role of teachers in preparing independent and creative graduates.
