Improving the Competence of Beautypreneurs of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) Through Training in Making Solid Soap from Natural Ingredients

This study examines the role of Civil Servants (ASN) as beautypreneurs to promote local economic development. Using a quantitative experimental approach, it evaluates the effectiveness of training programs on technical skills (soap-making) and soft skills (leadership, entrepreneurship). Data from 45 ASNs, collected via pre-test, post-test, interviews, and observations, show significant improvements in entrepreneurship and resource utilization, though packaging knowledge remains a gap. Key skills like leadership and creativity emerged, but further support is needed. The study highlights ASN’s potential in community empowerment and calls for future research on long-term impacts and program scalability.
