Provide Skills for Indonesian Unemployed Youth

At YUM’s Vocational Training Centre (VTC) in Cipanas, we not only provide various courses to support job readiness but we also organise workshops, such as Job Seeking Skills, Financial Literacy, and Public Speaking. This term, we welcomed special guest speakers for the Job Seeking Skills workshop. Our guest speakers came from the law firm Widyawan and partners, who are associated with Linklaters, YUM’s donors for the past 10 years. The session was attended by 27 participants who were either our VTC students or part of our student sponsorship program.

The presentation focused on explaining to the youth that preparing for a job search is as important as preparing their CV. Before writing their CV, it’s crucial for them to do research on the job and the company they are applying to. A session of how to write a CV and prepare for the job interview was also part of the presentation. The participants enjoyed the video about how to do the interview correctly. They learned about what to do and what not to do during the interview. At the end of the session, one of the participants played the role as interviewee while the speaker played the role as the interviewer. It was a fun and informative session for everyone. 

“It is easy to understand the materials given by the speakers. This is the first time for me attending the workshop which prepares us to be ready for employment. In the future, I want to be a banker. From this workshop, I know how to make a good resume and be more ready for the interview. ” IK, student. 

“The workshop is fun and full of new information. My friend and I never had this kind of information before. We are grateful to have all of the knowledge directly from the expert.  Right now, I am in my first semester at Hospitality school. At YUM’s VTC, I enrolled in an English course at the Basic level. What I have learned today will definitely be useful for my future. “  FA, student.
