The activity was held on May 24, 2026, using a participatory approach that combined outreach, training, and hands-on guidance (learning by doing), with 15 participants from the Ngampel Village PKK (Family Welfare Movement) and the SME partner Zea Zhafira Persada. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants’ understanding, with the average pre-test score of 53.7 rising to 84.9 on the post-test—a 58.3% increase. The highest improvement was observed in the area of digital marketing at 73.1%, followed by financial management and cost of goods sold (COGS) at 59.1%, packaging and labeling at 56.1%, and entrepreneurship at 47.0%. The outputs generated included a simple business plan based on the Business Model Canvas, financial record-keeping templates and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) calculation forms, an active WhatsApp Business account with a digital product catalog, and new packaging and label designs for marinated catfish and catfish katsu products. This initiative demonstrates that an integrated training approach combined with hands-on practice is effective in enhancing business management capacity and the competitiveness of MSMEs based on local fisheries potential.]]>
