ABSTRACT Retire apparatus training aims to prepare several alternative activities for the apparatus that will enter retirement. This research is about the process of implementing retired entrepreneurship training. This research is a qualitative descriptive study; the informants in this study were the Head of the Jambi Province Human Resources Development Agency, the Head of the Core Technical Competency Development Division, the Head of Sub-Division, and the organizing committee. Data were obtained through interviews and activity reports, and observations. The data analysis method uses the data triangulation method by comparing and discussing the data obtained in the field. This research shows that the implementation of Pre-Retirement Entrepreneurship Training at the Jambi Province BPSDM has been going well and systematically. The implementation process is divided into two parts, namely, the planning process and the implementation process. This training planning activity is divided into two parts: program planning and implementation planning. Program planning consists of analyzing the needs of prospective Retired Entrepreneurs Training participants and preparing the Retirement Entrepreneurship Training program module. Meanwhile, planning for the implementation consists of determining partners for the performance of the training, the setting of the place, and the execution time.

By all rights, there should be a revolt at this week's Republican convention against John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate--for the very same reasons so many Republicans opposed President Bush's selection of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court. Palin is, if anything, less qualified for the vice presidency (and the presidency) than Miers was for the court. But there is one big difference: Palin passes all the right-wing litmus tests, which means she is unlikely to suffer Miers' fate. It's amusing to watch Republicans play gender politics. At the time Bush chose Miers, he was under pressure to pick a woman to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. But most of the plausible women jurists were either too moderate to satisfy conservatives or so right wing that they faced serious confirmation problems.
