Abstract

Civic Education serves as a foundational pillar in preparing young individuals to navigate the evolving complexities of digital transformation in the business sector, emphasizing technical competence, ethical leadership, and social responsibility. As digital technologies increasingly shape business operations, the integration of civic values with digital literacy and entrepreneurial skills becomes imperative in fostering future business leaders who are both innovative and socially conscious. This study employed a qualitative methodology with a case study approach, analyzing how leading educational institutions in Indonesia implement Civic Education within entrepreneurship and information technology curricula. Through in-depth interviews, observational research, and document analysis, findings reveal that a well-structured Civic Education program enhances critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative problem-solving while deepening students’ understanding of corporate social responsibility and ethical decision-making. The study highlights the necessity for educational institutions to design a curriculum that holistically integrates Civic Education with entrepreneurship and digital skills, ensuring that graduates are prepared for economic success and committed to ethical business practices and social justice. By positioning Civic Education as a strategic catalyst for fostering responsible leadership, this research underscores its vital role in shaping a new generation of business leaders prioritizing sustainable development, innovation, and societal well-being in an era dominated by digital advancements.
