This study analyzes the barista training program at PKBM Manunggal Nusantara Cyberschool (MNC), South Tangerang City, and its contribution to learners' entrepreneurial interest. Many vocational training programs in non-formal education emphasize technical skills, while systematic analysis of their effect on entrepreneurial interest remains scarce. This study aimed to describe and analyze the program in terms of input, process, output, and outcome, to determine its contribution to entrepreneurial interest, and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors. A qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytic design was employed. Twelve informants, consisting of one manager, one instructor, and ten learners, were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, with source and technique triangulation. The findings show that participants were enthusiastic and facilities were adequate (input); practice-based learning with service simulations ran according to schedule (process); technical skills improved and participants began to see business opportunities (output); and the program contributed positively to five indicators of entrepreneurial interest (outcome). Supporting factors were instructor competence, complete equipment, institutional support, and growing coffee business opportunities, while inhibiting factors were limited training time, limited business capital, differing initial abilities, and the absence of sustained post-training mentoring. The program is considered adequate, but its sustainability needs strengthening. Institutions are advised to balance technical and business management materials and to provide structured post-training mentoring.
