In an effort to strengthen the Pancasila Students’ Profile based on entrepreneurship in the independent curriculum system, Alam Ar Rohmah Elementary School, located on Jl Raya Jambu No.1 Dusun Sumbersekar, Dau District, Malang Regency, received special assistance from the Industrial Engineering Department team, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Brawijaya. This community service program aims to implement the Independent Curriculum for Z generation, in order to prepare graduates with entrepreneurial foundations in accordance with the entrepreneurial theme of Pancasila Students’ Profile Strengthening Project (P5).
Alam Ar Rohmah Elementary School needs assistance in developing an appropriate entrepreneurship concept for elementary school age children. Through a community service program entitled “Implementation of the Independent Curriculum for Z Generation in Strengthening the Entrepreneurship-Based Pancasila Students’ Profile “, the team from Universitas Brawijaya plays an active role as a partner. This program aims to fulfill the tri dharma obligations of higher education and achieve IKU 2 and IKU 3.
The main problem faced is the need for assistance in developing P5 Entrepreneurship Theme learning concepts that suit the characteristics of the current Z generation. Therefore, the service team uses an industrial engineering scientific approach, namely by carrying out several main activities such as Focus Group Discussions (FGD), preparing supporting curriculum materials and implementation, training and workshops on entrepreneurship themes.
The implementation method is classical and the practice of producing products that have economic value as a stimulus for early childhood entrepreneurship (Z Generation).
