Abstract
AbstractA cadre is an individual in an organization or a group, who acts as the mover in various aspects of society’s social life. Cadres are expected to be examples in their organizations. The person of a cadre in a community association should be the example for other residents on how to live their lives. Therefore, cadres should have a good understanding of how a community resident should live. One understanding that cadres should possess is entrepreneurship. This entrepreneurship training was held at Community Association (RW) IV, Maspati IV St., Bubutan, Surabaya City, as the partner of Darma Cendika Catholic University (UKDC), for an upgrading and for a preparation for the cadres to be more established in entrepreneurship. The cadres of RW IV already have various businesses to support their families’ economy, but they still need more encouragement to be more improved and stronger in entrepreneurship. All participants in the training went through several steps. First, the cadres were invited to brainstorm the most urgent needs necessary for the preparation for becoming cadres. Second, the cadres were invited to map these needs. Third, the cadres were invited to decide on the most important training to be carried out. Fourth, the cadres were asked to propose the training techniques that should be used. The training at RW IV, Bubutan, Surabaya, went through the following stages: 1) Preparation, 2) Training attendance, 3) Reflection on the implementation of entrepreneurship, 4) Development of plans for future improvement. This training’s goal is that participants will be able to start family-managed small and medium businesses to maintain their families’ economy.Keywords: Training, Entrepreneurship, Cadre, Household economy
