Project Officer  - Semarang Based
BACKGROUND
The Indonesia Mitra Kunci Initiative is a five-year, $15 million, USAID-funded project that promotes more inclusive economic growth by improving access to workforce and entrepreneurial skills for poor and vulnerable youth. The Mitra Kunci team provides USAID/Indonesia project implementers (PIs) and workforce stakeholders with technical support, connections and platforms to help build a more robust and responsive workforce development ecosystem. In addition to management support, capacity building, and coordination, Mitra Kunci’s technical assistance includes identifying, piloting and scaling new workforce development approaches and innovations such as:
·         Equipping University Students with Entrepreneurship Skills. Mitra Kunci developed a module for a thematic student service program on entrepreneurship (KKN-TKWU) that was approved by MOEC and was piloted with over 12,000 students from 10 universities. In the next year, Mitra Kunci will work with the 10 universities to continue to implement the KKN-TKWU with its students who are expected to graduate and seek employment.
·         Engaging the private sector to improve GESI and inclusive employment. Mitra Kunci is working with the Indonesia Employers Association (APINDO) and 20-30 of their member companies who are committed to developing and implementing GESI policies, guidelines, and tools including how to comply with Law 8/2016 on hiring people with disabilities. Mitra Kunci is also developing partnerships with United Tractors, H&M and the Accor Hotel Group.
·         SINERGI 2.0. The Rajawali Foundation, in partnership with Transformasi, is implementing the SINERGI 2.0 project to address a key constraint to improving the workforce system in Indonesia, which is the coordination among multiple government agencies, workforce training institutions, private companies, and youth through a re-designed action forum called POKSI. The POKSI will be demand-driven and include a smaller number of key decision makers who will be able to partner with other POKSI members to design solutions to address the four key workforce processes: recruitment, assessment, work preparedness, and job placement. Private companies have identified that young people are often not prepared to work effectively in their company, so SINERGI 2.0 will help government training centers and private companies improve soft-skills training programs to ensure that youth are ready to work and are linked up to available jobs in participating companies.
