Abstract

The role of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) includes job creation, increase competitiveness, and serve as revenue source for low-income earners. Institutional strategies are necessary in promoting the innovation and creativity of MSME actors. The purpose of this study is to equip new entrepreneurial cadres in the working area of Lima Puluh Health Center for increased productivity. Therefore, it is necessary to create a community service team to stimulate further development and generate tempeh-based snack products with attractive features and designs. A field survey involving 5 cadres and 5 alumni was employed to identify partner problems, engage cadres and alumni, as well as plan trainings.  The present study resulted in the production of various processed tempeh products, including brownies, balls, cookies and nuggets.
