Abstract:

This study investigates the enhancement of human resource competence through edutourism services at Muhammadiyah Islamic College Singapore (MICS). Employing a Qualitative Methodology, the research focuses on a comprehensive understanding, interpretation, and narrative analysis of non-numerical data primarily derived from interviews and observations. The findings underscore Singapore's capacity to achieve development despite limited natural resources, attributing its success to a diversified economy spanning industry, business, and services. The study particularly highlights MICS as a prominent educational institution in Singapore, offering a wide array of academic programs. Recognizing the significance of edutourism, MICS has undertaken various initiatives aimed at elevating human resource competence through edutourism services. The research sheds light on the unique approach taken by MICS in integrating edutourism to enhance human resource capabilities within the Singaporean context.
