https://doi.org/10.35719/ngarsa.v6i1.618Digital work readiness is a practical competency that students need to complete academic and administrative tasks in technology-based environments. This community service program aimed to strengthen students' digital work readiness through structured Microsoft Word training at MAS Raudlatul Ulum Ledokombo Jember. The activity employed a participatory, hands-on training approach conducted over two sessions on April 7–8, 2025, each lasting two hours. The participants were 15 students in grades XI and XII, comprising 8 females and 7 males. Data were collected through observation, practical assignments, documentation, and a four-point evaluation rubric. The findings showed that all evaluated aspects reached the very high category, with digital self-confidence obtaining the highest mean score of 3.63. Students were able to format documents, prepare formal letters, insert tables and images, and complete basic administrative documents more independently. Collaborative learning also helped overcome the limitation of available computer facilities. In conclusion, structured, practice-based Microsoft Word training can effectively improve technical skills, self-confidence, and digital work-readiness among madrasa students.
