PROJECT BACKGROUND
Skills to Succeed is a Save the Children Indonesia program which aims to
support young people aged 16-24 to prepare skills in employment and
entrepreneurial opportunities. The aim of this program is to bridge young
people with job opportunities by collaborating with stakeholders including
schools and the private sector, in supporting youth through job readiness
skills, financial education, entrepreneurship, and vocational counselling
training.
Through the Skills to Succeed program, Save the Children Indonesia implemented
5 skills that students need to have through the development of soft skills
learning modules. These skills are; positive self-concept, self-control, skills
in creative and critical thinking, communication skills and social skills.
During the program, trainings have been carried out for teachers as
facilitators in delivering soft skills modules in classroom learning.
The employability skills program has always been a strength for the project,
not only consists of, career counselling, financial literacy and
entrepreneurship provided to youth in out of school youth and in school youth.
In Indonesia, the project has been able to serve in total more than 68,000
youth from 2014, consist of 63.065 from in school youth and 5,795 coming from
out of school youth. Skills to Succeed Indonesia has been implemented in three
locations; previously in Lampung province, West Java province and East Java as
the new province in global grant 5.
Current Global grant phase 5 has been started in 2017 and will be ended by
2020. Therefore as part of Skills to Succeed continues evaluation agenda, the
current phase of GG5 will need an evaluation to review all strategy for the
implementation and also to produce a recomendation for the next project
especially on the design and implementation.
EVALUATION CONTEXT

experience and benefit being long term program with several period of project
brings a lot of benefit for this 5th Global Grant. Global grant 5 has already
reach more than 31,500 direct youth with its intervention. This evaluation will
be able to provide information on what will be short impact of this
intervention to the youth who already received series of employability skills
training. This achievement is also supported by a lot of factors both by
internal and external of the projects.
Previously the project has done a midterm evaluation and some findings from our
midterm performance review for GG5 project was
1. There is a mismatch between youth’s experience in school and the workforce
2. S2S approach has been acknowledge by youth to be able to answer youth
needs in working preparation
3. Youth want S2S to be earlier in vocational school and have “less theory,
more practice”
The result of the midterm has contributed some evidence that the S2S approach
are feasible to be adopted to be a part of school’s activity in employability
activities.
Meanwhile there will be some external factors that might have impact to the
result of this evaluation project activity
1.
Covid-19 pandemic is preventing mobility and activity in data collection and
stakeholder participation in the evaluation

Large of coverage geographical area of the project, school’s partner vs time
and budget. Also, project activity quality and stakeholder advocacy in the
project.

and might influence the bias of the evaluation.
