Abstract

Digital transformation in education requires early intervention, including at the junior high school level. The Microsoft Word training activity held on May 12, 2025 at Maros Vocational High School 1, with facilitators from the Department of Agricultural Technology, Pangkep State Polytechnic of Agriculture, aimed to equip grade 10 students with basic document processing skills. The training was designed comprehensively through a hands-on approach and step-by-step guidance ranging from interface introduction, typing, text formatting, to formal document organization. Evaluation results showed the success of the training with an increase in participants' understanding and skills reaching an average of 90%. This finding emphasizes the importance of early digital literacy integration through collaboration between education levels to form the foundation of 21st century competencies in learners.
