Abstract
One of the role of a University as a Higher
Education Institution is as the centre of research and
development of science and technology. This is described in
the three roles of Higher Education Institutions; those are
education, research, and community service. The community
service is a form of awareness of a university towards the
community.
Training for micro and small enterprise entrepreneurs is
one program of the community service in the University. The
goals were to increase their knowledge in business through
management trainings and to increase their capability in
preparing financial reports. The business training provided
them with business knowledge so that they would be able to
run their business effectively. The reporting training provided
them with the skill to prepare simple financial reporting, in
hope that the reports would help them in joining any business
development programs organized by the government and to
help them in searching for financial funding for their business.
The prospect of food and beverages business of the micro
and small enterprise entrepreneurs in the city was promising;
they contributed to the non-oil and gas national industry
growth for 34.35%, therefore, we included them in the
trainings. This research analyzed the responses from the
entrepreneurs regarding the trainings, to evaluate the outcome
of the program, and to identify necessary training subjects.
We observed the data from the questionnaire, and then
analyze it using the descriptive method of analysis. The results
would contribute to the continuance of this program.
