Upgrading Halal Industry Literacy in the Islamic Boarding School Business Community
Keywords:
Halal Certification, Islamic Boarding School Business Community, MSMEs, Halal LiteracyAbstract
Based on the initial observation, it was found that some Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) within the Islamic Boarding School Business Community still do not have halal certification and are unaware of its importance. Therefore, the first step needed is to increase halal literacy within this community. This community service activity involves three methodological stages: preparation, implementation (workshop), and mentoring. The event was attended by 50 participants and held at the Al-Fatah Islamic Boarding School auditorium in Kartasura, Sukoharjo, Central Java. The event took place on Tuesday, May 30, 2023. The speakers, who provided the material, are competent in halal certification as they are certified as halal process facilitators. This community service activity (PKM) has made a real contribution to increasing halal literacy among MSMEs within the Islamic Boarding School Business Community. The enhancement of halal literacy is expected to impact awareness of halal and willingness to apply for halal certification. The tangible output of this activity is halal certification for MSMEs that have been assisted in the application process.
