Empowerment and Capacity Building of Cendekiawan Kampung Scholarship Interviewers through Community Development-Based Training. Cendekiawan Kampung is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that provides scholarships through collaboration with the government and corporates. The scholarships provided aim to produce young scholars in villages with the characteristics of being able to identify problems faced in their environment, map out their potential, plan for change and realize the solution steps. In order to empower and strengthen the capacity of scholarship interviewers, Cendekiawan Kampung provides soft skill training and capacity building in communication and interview strategies to academics who are members of the interviewer group. This training aims to empower and strengthen the role of interviewers through organized efforts to increase the knowledge and abilities of interviewers to be able to carry out their duties properly. This training was attended by ten lecturers and practitioners from various institutions and universities in Banten, West Java and Yogyakarta through Google Meet three times with each meeting for approximately 3 hours. The training started with dissemination, preparation of instruments and workshops. The dissemination was carried out by the management of the Cendekiawan Kampung Indonesia Foundation by explaining the core values of the scholarship recipients, known as Genius Kampung, namely ilmi, nurani and silaturahmi (INS). Furthermore, the preparation of interview instruments and workshop instruments used in interviews was carried out by conducting interview simulations, where participants played the roles of interviewers and interview participants. The results of the training were based on the analysis of the indicators of the ability to manage the interview process, namely the participants were skilled at using interview instruments to the potential recipients of the Cendekiawan Kampung scholarship in the form of time management, accuracy of questions according to guidelines, and ability to conduct assessments.
