These soft skills contribute 80% of a person's success compared to hard skills. An exploratory study of 130 industries in 16 provinces in Indonesia, shows that the biggest gap between the competencies needed by the business and industrial world and the competencies of health vocational high school (SMK) graduates is in aspects of soft skills such as: honesty, discipline, communication, initiative and teamwork. Soft skills should be built as early as possible, to prepare health human resources with character. SMK Bhakti Medika Wiyata Kristen Magelang organizes vocational nursing and pharmacy with a total of 60 students. These students are prospective health workers. There is a tendency for class XII students to be more daring to cheat (dishonestly) during exams than students of X and XI. Students often delay doing schoolwork and there is still a lot of free time that has not been used optimally so that schoolwork is done less than optimally. This condition if left unchecked will affect the character development of health human resources. The world of work does not only choose prospective workers who are proficient in academic abilities, but pays great attention to skill values including the values of honesty, responsibility, courtesy, discipline, commitment, self-confidence, ethics, cooperation, creativity, communication, and leadership. soft skills). Through this Community Service, students are given soft skills training including time management, effective communication and preparing action plans. Evaluation is carried out during the process and followed for 1 month.
