On December 5th, 2013, Jokowi visited Rusun Marunda, a housing government program, to see the development of the facilities in that area in order to support the lives of Marunda’s dwellers. DKI Jakarta provincial government joined hands with some private institutions to complete the facilities providing certified vocational skills such as, hairstyling class, computer class, mechanical class, and other facilities. YCAB Foundation was one of the private institutions involved in this attempt and provided digital inclusion and hairstyling class.
Jokowi visited our digital inclusion class where the students came from Rusun Marunda. Jokowi foresaw students’ interest in learning computer lessons. YCAB Foundation has been considering computer’s class an essential element that every child should learn at early stages of life. Along these years, the software has been provided by Microsoft, and the certfication comes from Bina Nusantara (BINUS) University.
Beside digital inclusion class, YCAB Foundation also provides hairstyling class to equip the youths , especially the female community, with skills that may expose them to wider employment options, thus it can bring financial independence. Through attaining hairstyling skills, it would give the possibility for them to start-up their own business.
