How lifelong learning jumpstarted Sianny Christianto’s business

Kartu Prakerja Programme’s training course changed everything

Unsure of how to build her business, Sianny was excited to hear about an initiative launched by the Indonesian Government in 2020 aimed at developing the competences and improving the employability of the local workforce through skilling, reskilling and upskilling programmes.

The Kartu Prakerja Programme is available to Indonesian citizens aged 18 and over who are not enrolled in formal education. Beneficiaries can choose from various training categories, such as ICT, marketing, finance and catering. Once they have completed their training, participants receive a certificate and are entitled to receive post-training incentives.

Sianny joined a Kartu Prakerja course on baking, which helped her grow her business and her confidence.
