Plan Indonesia in partnership with Indonesia Business Links (IBL) delivers Youth Economic Empowerment program until January 2014 and now seeks Consultant to do stakeholders mapping analysis to gather and conclude with willingness to be part of the program. Below is the TOR for the activity:
Background
Unemployment issue is a serious matter in Indonesia. The official overall unemployment rate in Indonesia is 12%, 60% of which are young people (15-24 years old). This population represents 42 million people. The profound number of youth by which occupies unemployment in Indonesia induced Plan Indonesia to take partnership with Indonesia Business Links (IBL) to take actions and establish a development program under the name of Youth Economic Empowerment (YEE). The program endeavors to facilitate disadvantaged youth, mainly female, with the necessary knowledge and skills that help them to be ready to enter the formal employment. This program is part of the Plan’s Youth Economic Empowerment program. The youth involved in this program will be equipped with fundamental life-skills training as a prerequisite to then continue with further engagement of the TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training).
The first targeted location for the YEE program is Grobogan which is located in the province of Central Java. In accordance to the program’s needs, Sheliagus Suyadi (MED Specialist) and Muchlis Ali (Youth Employment Manager) from Plan Indonesia has made a Situational Analysis Report for developing YEE Program. Through the report, they have an assumption that the unemployment rate in Grobogan district is 4.52% where it is evenly distributed among male and female and the level of age. This unemployment rate is followed with an assumption that the unemployed number is evenly distributed in every district. The program will select specific villages within the Grobogan district, and from three sub-districts in which Plan operates: Tanggungharjo, Karangrayung and Kedungjati.
As a market-driven program, YEE designs its TVET training curriculum based on the previously identified employers. This TOR is aimed to provide guidance for conducting the identification and assessment of potential employers for the youth trainees in the employment track of the program.
The stakeholders assessment will be conducted by consultant. The consultant will also be responsible to negotiate with the potential employers to get their supports and willingness to sign an MoU with the program;, whereas further development of the MoU will be administered by IBL. The table below is to further describe the assessment of potential employers for the purpose of the YEE program implementation.
Objective of Assessment:
To identify and assess the various targeted employers that will be engaged in the TVET projects of YEE Program. These employers must be significant to their employment needs that are potentially filled by the YEE youth beneficiaries (80% female).
Expected Output:
A minimum of five companies or employers that meets the YEE Program’s criteria, target and most significantly must also show their commitment to support and sign an MOU with the YEE program.
Methodology of Assessment:
A. Employers Scanning

· Data from the ‘Situational Analysis Report previously’ retrieved from the work of Sheliagus Suyadi (MED Specialist) and Muchlis Ali (Youth Employment Manager) from Plan Indonesia.
