Amid global competition and dynamic economic growth, improving workforce skills has become an absolute necessity. The Job Training Center (Balai Latihan Kerja/BLK) serves as a strategic institution that provides competency-based training to the community, especially for members of the workforce who have not yet been absorbed into the formal employment sector. The UPTD BLK of Padangsidimpuan City is one of the training institutions that plays an important role in developing local human resources, particularly in producing job-ready and productive workers. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of the Padangsidimpuan City Job Training Center in improving community skills and productivity. This research uses a qualitative method, with data collection techniques consisting of observation, interviews, and documentation, employing a descriptive qualitative approach in which the researcher is directly involved in field research. The data analysis technique used in this study is interactive analysis, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the role of the UPTD BLK of Padangsidimpuan City has been good, as evidenced by the fact that 71.4% of training participants were absorbed into employment after completing training at the Job Training Center. Therefore, the UPTD BLK of Padangsidimpuan City has assisted the government in reducing the unemployment rate in the city of Padangsidimpuan. However, further improvement is still needed, as the placement or job distribution of training participants has not yet been carried out comprehensively. Nevertheless, the UPTD Job Training Center of Padangsidimpuan City has been able to improve participants’ skills and productivity. The constraints faced by the UPTD BLK of Padangsidimpuan City consist of four main issues: first, the heterogeneous nature of training participants; second, inadequate training facilities and infrastructure (equipment); third, participants’ motivation; and fourth, the lack of job placement or employment distribution. The actions taken by the UPTD BLK of Padangsidimpuan City include: first, improving the quality of instructors; second, implementing procedures to propose and procure facilities and infrastructure to meet inadequate equipment needs; third, conducting personal approaches; and fourth, increasing cooperation with other parties to absorb all training participants. The UPTD Job Training Center should continue to update its competencies in accordance with labor market needs, balanced with adequate training equipment.

Integrated Subdistrict Administrative Services (PATEN) is a decentralization policy that aims to bring public services closer to the community by delegating some authority from the mayor to the subdistrict head. This study aims to determine the implementation of PATEN in Padangsidimpuan Batunadua District and the obstacles encountered in its implementation. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation, and documentation. Informants in this study consisted of the subdistrict head, the subdistrict secretary, two PATEN service staff, and two community service users. The analysis was conducted using George C. Edwards III's implementation theory which includes variables of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of PATEN has been running functionally through a picket system and internal coordination, but has not been optimal due to obstacles in conveying information to the community, limited facilities and infrastructure, and the lack of a permanent implementation team. The latest version of the service flow has also not been implemented due to a lack of socialization. On the other hand, the disposition of the implementers shows a high commitment reflected in fast and friendly service, and is reinforced by the Public Satisfaction Index (IKM) value of 83.341 (Good category). It is hoped that the results of this study can provide input for the sub-district and related stakeholders in updating information media, improving infrastructure, forming a permanent implementation team, and expanding the socialization of the PATEN program so that public services at the sub-district level are more effective and sustainable.
