Collaboration between IBM ASMI and the business world is a strategic step in overcoming the problem of unemployment after COVID-19. By combining technological expertise and resources from IBM ASMI as well as experience and business networks from the corporate world, this collaboration aims to create new job opportunities, provide training and increase skills to job seekers, and encourage innovation in creating sustainable solutions to improve the post-pandemic economy . The collaboration developed in this paper is a summary and analysis of reports on PKM activities carried out by IBM and the Business World in Community Development Training activities. The activity participants consisted of 40 participants, consisting of 30 participants from the ready-to-work group and 10 participants from the entrepreneurial group.
