For over six months of production, the sales volume has remained relatively low, with a monthly turnover of approximately IDR 375,000. This low sales turnover is primarily due to marketing and sales being conducted only on a local scale. Furthermore, the produced items lack home industry permits (P-IRT), which causes them to be considered illegal for sale. This activity aims to provide assistance in obtaining permits and improving managerial systems related to marketing, enabling wider product distribution both offline (direct sales) and online (digital marketing). The methods employed include assisting with business permit applications, marketing training, and guidance in creating social media and marketplace accounts. The outcomes of this activity are the issuance of P-IRT for the products and an increase in monthly turnover from IDR 375,000 to IDR 1,815,000.</p> Isnaini Isnaini Asnawati Asnawati Rahma Yuliani ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-06-27 2025-06-27 10 6 10.31603/ce.12889 Socialization of the P5-PPRA learning program for Aisyiyah early childhood education teachers, Gatak District https://journal.unimma.ac.id/index.php/ce/article/view/12960 <p>The Project for Strengthening Pancasila Student Profile and Rahmatan Lil Alamin Student Profile (P5-PPRA) learning program has been declared a mandatory program within the Merdeka Curriculum.
