Abstract

Poverty remains a multidimensional issue that limits educational access and contributes to persistent school dropout, reinforcing cycles of inequality. This study aims to develop an integrative model combining capacity-building training and the pentahelix approach to address these interconnected problems. Using a qualitative exploratory case study, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and focus group discussions with stakeholders from government, academia, business, community, and media; and analyzed using grounded approach (open, axial, and selective coding). The findings show that poverty and dropout are shaped by intertwined economic, social, and institutional factors, while existing interventions tend to be fragmented, short-term, and weakly coordinated. The proposed model positions training as a central entry point linked to a collaborative ecosystem, enhancing relevance, sustainability, and access to opportunities. Theoretically, the study integrates human capital and collaborative governance perspectives. Practically, it offers a more systemic and sustainable approach for poverty alleviation and dropout prevention.
