Abstract
Based on data from the West Java Provincial Office of Cooperatives and SMEs (2015), out of a total of 25,741 cooperatives in West Java, 8886 (35%) of them were inactive and 16,855 (65%) were active. Whereas in Bandung City the total cooperatives were 2538 cooperatives, 1200 active (47.3%) and 1338 (52.7%) inactive cooperatives. In West Java Province there are 3 education and training institutions that foster cooperatives namely Balatkop, Lapenkop and Puskopdit, which continuously foster cooperatives and SMEs in developing their businesses. The phenomenon of the number of cooperatives that are not active shows that the training programs delivered by the cooperative training institutions have not been optimal. This study aims to measure the process of analyzing the needs of education and training conducted by the three education and training institutions in conducting cooperative training for cooperatives management and members. The research method used is a survey method to cooperatives that have participated in training activities as well as interviews with instructors and leaders of the relevant training and education institutions. The results of the study show that, a) identification of needs (to determine material, prospective participants, resource persons) training and b) identification stages of training material needs have not met the operational standards that should be. Identification of resource persons has fulfilled the requirements of the principal duties and functions of the trainer. There has been no consolidation among the three implementing education and training institutions in the implementation of needs assessment so that it is still possible to overlap training materials. It is necessary to prepare a road map to identify needs to be able to formulate training plans and formulations for the management and members of cooperatives in an integrated manner by the three cooperative training institutions.

The development of human resources substantially means the process of advancing, develop and enhance human resource capabilities, which are directed at physical progress and non-material progress
At least the main factor causing the lack of role of cooperatives and the decline in cooperative interest are sourced from the aspect of education, especially the quality of cooperative education that is not sufficient and equitable for human resources and cooperative cadres
The non-formal education sector in the form of training can be delivered to cooperative cadres in order to develop the Indonesian economy through cooperatives
Summary
The development of human resources substantially means the process of advancing, develop and enhance human resource capabilities, which are directed at physical progress (material) and non-material progress (knowledge, attitude and skills). Cooperative education needs to be given top priority for cooperative cadres. The non-formal education sector in the form of training can be delivered to cooperative cadres in order to develop the Indonesian economy through cooperatives. The high number of cooperatives that are not active requires its own thinking to find out the root of the problems that have an impact on Advances in Sciences and Humanities 2019; 5(6): 165-170 these inactive cooperatives. Some of the factors that cause inactive cooperatives include low management competencies and lack of member participation, so that cooperative operations are stopped. Increasing the competence of administrators and member participation is needed so that there is a synergy between the cooperative management (including manager) who operate the cooperative, and the activeness of members as owners and customers
