Yayasan Plan International Indonesia is presently implementing its country
strategic 4 (CS 4) covering fiscal year 2017 to 2022, where the country
objective has been defined as “to identify and facilitate the removal of
obstacles that prevent children from enjoying their rights and participating
fully in Indonesian society”. The organisation’s purpose is to “strive for a
just world that advances children’s rights and equality for girls”. This goal
will be achieved by providing technical support and implementing quality
programs and projects through partnership. An effective and efficient
communications strategy is a must for Plan Indonesia to share the outcomes of
these projects to influence different actors, specially state authorities and
to position Plan’s profile within and outside at different levels – starting
from community, sub district, district to national, regional and international
levels. Yayasan Plan International Indonesia invites highly competent,
experienced and committed professionals to fill the following position :
TVET Coordinator - IT Certification for Youth
BACKGROUND
Unemployment in Indonesia is at record high levels due to COVID-19, with
disproportionate impact on informal and service workers, women, and youth. By
the end of 2020, Indonesia’s open unemployment rate surged to 7.07%, almost 2%
higher than the previous year’s rate and its highest level since 2011 with a
total of 9.77 million people unemployed by August 2020, 37.61% higher than the
previous year. COVID-19 has also deepened Indonesia’s gender inequality, with
unemployment disproportionately affecting women, since most are employed in
sectors especially vulnerable to the pandemic, such as retail, hospitality, or
garment. Even before the pandemic, only 54% of working-age women were active in
the labor force compared to 82% of working-age men, and this rate has been
relatively stagnant for the last 20 years. Women in Indonesia are also more
likely to be in low-paid jobs when in full-time contracts, and less likely to
be employed in managerial positions. Youth are also particularly vulnerable.
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, young people were already 4 times more
likely to be unemployed than the adult population. The Indonesian youth
unemployment rate was already at 18%, which is doubled the unemployment rate of
the total population.
While on the other side, Indonesia’s digital economy quadrupled in size between
2015 and 2019 – at an average growth rate of 49% per year – to reach an
estimated $40bn in 2020. This exponential growth, along with the government’s
latest “making indonesia 4.0” development plan that prioritizes the country’s
technological innovation, creates new employment opportunities but also poses
simultaneous labor supply challenges because local technical training is
limited, especially due to a shortage of skilled human resources available to
provide the knowledge. The skill profile of the Indonesian workforce has not
evolved in line with the demands of the labour market. The world bank estimates
that between 2015 and 2030, there will be a shortage of 9 million skilled and
semi-skilled ICT workers in indonesia. The push for the digitalization of
micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) is also challenged by a lack of
skilled talent and resources. MSMEs are the backbone of Indonesia’s economy.
They have contributed consistently to more than 50% of Indonesia’s GDP since
2010 until before the covid-19 pandemic[1], with more than 90% absorption of
Indonesia’s labor force[2]. When the covid-19 pandemic hit, the digitalization
of MSMEs was one of the key strategies identified to build back better. The
Ministry of Cooperatives and SME has set a target for 30 million MSMEs to go
digital by 2024. Nevertheless, MSMEs still struggle to go digital. From plan
Indonesia’s study on youth-led micro and small enterprises in Covid 19,
information technology still poses a challenge. This study also found that
youth enterprises with more access to technology performed better during the
pandemic. This resonated across other studies that found women working in MSMEs
with a slower adoption of ICT applications in their business received about
30-70% less income compared to those who haven’t. In response to the challenge
and opportunities above, plan indonesia will recruit, train, and place 10,000
young people in 18 months project in several areas in indonesia, with majority
of them will be young women, in IT career pathways providing them with free
certified training materials and courses along with wraparound services to
support course completion and placement into it career pathways. To support the
pipeline of skilled talent for MSME digitalization, an emphasis will be put on
expanding the network of job placement, not limited to formal work but also the
gig economy.
