The household electronic appliance maintenance and repair training for the Lempangang Village Youth Organization (Karang Taruna) aims to improve the technical skills of the community, particularly young people, in identifying and repairing damage to household electronic appliances. Through this training, participants gained knowledge and practical skills in using measuring tools such as multimeters, replacing damaged components, and performing preventative maintenance on irons. The training results showed a significant improvement in participants skills, as evidenced by a 9.04% increase in pre- and post-test scores. In the pre-test, participants average scores were around 60%-70%, indicating sufficient basic understanding, but with some areas for improvement. After the training, participants post-test scores increased to 80%-90%, reflecting a clear improvement in their ability to independently repair electric irons. Furthermore, this training opened new business opportunities in the field of electronic appliance repair services, had a positive impact on local economic empowerment, and reduced electronic waste by extending the lifespan of existing appliances. The program also raised awareness about the importance of maintaining electronic appliances in the household. As a suggestion, expanding training materials and using digital technology to support further learning can increase the impact of this training, as well as expanding community participation through partnerships with various parties.

The training successfully improved participants skills in identifying and repairing damage to household electronic appliances, particularly electric irons.Participants gained practical skills in using tools like multimeters and performing preventative maintenance.The training resulted in a significant improvement in skills, demonstrated by a 9.04% increase in test scores, and fostered new business opportunities, economic empowerment, and reduced electronic waste.

Based on the findings, future research could explore the long-term economic impact of the training on the Lempangang Village youth, specifically tracking the establishment and sustainability of repair businesses. Furthermore, a comparative study could be conducted to assess the effectiveness of different training methodologies, such as incorporating more digital learning resources or mentorship programs, to optimize skill development. Finally, investigating the potential for expanding the training to cover a wider range of electronic devices and incorporating circular economy principles, such as responsible e-waste management, could enhance the programs overall impact and contribute to a more sustainable community. These research directions aim to build upon the current initiative, fostering greater economic independence and environmental responsibility within Lempangang Village and potentially serving as a model for similar community empowerment programs in other regions.
