Abstract

The hard skills and soft skills of catfish farmers in Beji Village, East Ungaran District in making pellets for fish food need to be improved so that fish farmers can produce fish pellets independently. Through training activities in making pellets for fish feed using a fish pellet molding machine, it is hoped that hard skills and soft skills can be improved. The hard skills tested include the ability to turn on and set up a pellet molding machine, the ability to disassemble and reassemble a fish pellet molding machine, the ability to practically name the parts of a fish pellet molding machine, the ability to identify damage to machine spare parts. Meanwhile, for the soft skill criteria, the following sub-criteria are: ability to analyze damage to fish pellet molding machines, ability to explain the parts of fish pellet molding machines, ability to explain the function of parts of fish pellet molding machines, ability to explain how to maintain pellet molding machines. fish. The result of this training is that the hard skills and soft skills of the training participants from the fish cultivation group in Beji Village, East Ungaran District have increased.
