A.      Background

 

Plan International is a development and humanitarian organization that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. Plan International strives for a just world, working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners. For 75 years, Plan International has built strong partnerships and now work in more than 70 countries. In Indonesia Plan International started its work in 1969 and currently works in 7 provinces and sponsors more than 40,000 children. Plan Indonesia has developed a comprehensive approach through the existing programs in YEE (Youth Economic Empowerment). A strong partnership has been established and there is collaboration with the government to adopt a Planet-based TVET (Technical and Vocational Education Training) approach and soft skill training. Some training packages for soft skill and TVET, including gender-focused life-skills, TVET restaurant, retail TVET, career counseling, and green skill have also been developed.

In Indonesia, W4W! (Wired for Work!) Project targets vulnerable youth, especially women. Indonesia needs an average of 3.2 million additional skilled workers per year, while budget allocations for non-formal (vocational) education are limited, leaving a significant number of youth untrained[1].
