trainees are satisfied and learn the program Noe, 2013: 235.
A number of small businesses in Cepogo united and formed a business group named Logam Timur. Logam Timur business group consists of 17 members. Most of them have
the same problems to organize their business. The training is conducted in the Management laboratory of Economics and Business Faculty, Muhammadiyah University
of Surakarta. The main reason why it is conducted in the computer room, because in this room there are a number of computers available and connected to the internet. It makes
learning about internet marketing easier. Hamburg mentioned 2014 that technology is usually a problem in training; it should be a support for learning. Laugesen et. Al. In
Hamburg 2014 underlined that most of training offerings are not appropriate in the business need in the organization.

products. After they were called, they start to manufacture the products.

highest score compare to cost of goods sold trainer. From the table above, trainer of online marketing better than trainer of cost of goods sold in four aspects; 1 capability to explain
the material; 2 used supporting tools; 3 easy to understand; and 4 participant understanding of the material.
This study presents a data about trainee‟s perception about the overall training. Davidof in
Walgito 1994 define perception as a process to choose, organize, and analyse information or data to create a meaningful world. In summary, the effectiveness of the
training program shows in the table belows;

From the table 8 above, shows that the training to metal craftsmen overall was run effectively. The only aspect which achieves a low score is material on internet marketing.
This is normal, since while the training, most of them still did not know the function of online marketplace. The highest one is the aspect about „training supporting‟.
The picture below, will explain about supporting needed by the metal craftsmen to run their business. Data was collected by open-ended question in the second part of the
questionnaire.

by their business. This is not because they already feel satisfied with their business, but they did not know anything that can develop their business. The picture shows that 24
participants asked to join another training on enhancing business and on entrepreneurship. The remaining, 18 answer others, such as need a coaching from the expert, working
capital, working tools, and fix the route access to their county.
