The younger generation must also be ready to face the challenges of the highly competitive job market by having a strong interest in employment, the skills and knowledge to adapt to the workplace, and good career planning skills. The activity of community service is designed to increase students' motivation and readiness to join the workforce by using the program “Muda Berkarya, Tua Berjaya” in SMK Negeri 13 Bekasi. The techniques employed were motivational seminars, presentations, interactive discussions and self-reflection sessions. It included topics on personal potential development, the role of education and skills, career planning and building positive character traits for the future. Data was gathered by observing, documenting and evaluating the level of participation of the participants during the program. The findings showed that students' awareness of the youth productiveness, acquiring the competences needed for the labour market and establishing life goals has improved. In this programme, the students were motivated to continue learning, creating and preparing themselves to be a productive and competitive generation to meet future challenges successfully.
