Abstract

The digital transformation training held by the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs (Kemenkop) aims to strengthen the institutions and governance of modern cooperatives in the food sector, especially in West Java. With increasing competitive challenges, cooperatives are expected to increase their competitiveness by strengthening the capacity and quality of human resources (HR) in facing the digital era. This training covers two core materials: digital transformation in cooperative management and cooperative business, which are delivered through lecture methods and interactive discussions with cooperative administrators and managers. The training activity was held on September 18, 2024 at the Sukajadi Hotel and Gallery, Bandung, with the participation of 15 predetermined food sector cooperatives. The materials taught include the importance of digitalization in member management, professionalism in management, and the application of information systems to support cooperative operations. Participant were also introduced to digital applications that can improve operational efficiency and services to members. The results of the training showed high enthusiasm from the participants, although there were challenges related to infrastructure and digital literacy that still needed to be improved. Therefore, the continuation of similar training is highly recommended to strengthen participants’ practical understanding of the application of technology in cooperatives. Thus, it is hoped that cooperatives can transform to be more modern and competitive in the national and international markets.
