Graduates of Islamic boarding schools must possess soft skills, an entrepreneurial attitude, and religious competencies in the Era of Industrial Transformation 4.0. Students must be able to manage themselves, make decisions, communicate well, and prepare themselves for modern jobs and businesses without compromising their Islamic beliefs. Students at the Al Jauharen Islamic Boarding School in Jambi receive organized training and coaching in this community service program to strengthen their self-leadership, job readiness, sharia entrepreneurship, and digital marketing skills. Education (counseling), dissemination of science and technology through thematic modules, interactive experiential learning training, mediation with Islamic boarding schools and sharia business practitioners, as well as peer support and clinical mentoring are utilized. Participants learn Islamic-based self-reflection, life and career goal setting, time management, morally nuanced decision-making, career portfolio development (CV, cover letter, Islamic digital profile), development of a simple halal business plan, Islamic financial record-keeping, business account management, and digital marketing content. Program results show that 80% of students were able to develop self-development plans and improve time discipline, 90% had a decent basic career portfolio, 80% performed better in job interview simulations, and 80% of student business units/groups had active business accounts with at least three promotional pieces inspired by Islamic values. Clinical mentoring and peer support improved accountability, resilience, and implementation. Research shows that integrating Islamic values ​​into leadership and entrepreneurship training improves students' self-management, professional skills, and entrepreneurial capacity in the digital age. The modules, rubrics, and SOPs from this curriculum can be duplicated and used in activities at Islamic boarding schools.
