Therefore, the training provided will also cover technical production, weaving design and Internet of Things (IoT) based marketing which is very suitable for product promotion in the New Normal Era. This entrepreneurship training has social goals and is based on social activities. Therefore, partners will also be given training in entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurial managerial skills, which also includes production management, financial management, simple accounting and marketing management. Apart from that, assistance is provided to partners, so that efforts to develop micro business activities among weaving craftsmen can be realized and run well.
