Abstract

Advancements in information technology have brought about significant changes across various aspects of life. However, rural communities often face limitations in making optimal use of digital technology. This community service initiative aims to enhance the digital literacy of residents in Parage Village, Cikulur District, Lebak Regency, through training on the use of information technology to support economic activities, education, and administrative services. The methods employed included observation, outreach sessions, hands-on training, and ongoing guidance. The results indicate an improvement in participants' knowledge regarding the use of digital media, office applications, social media for business promotion, and electronic-based government services. Participants also demonstrated improved proficiency in using digital devices independently. This program is expected to enhance human resource quality and support technology-driven village development.
