Job description
DAI is searching for an organization to support development, implementation, and dissemination of a digital literacy training curriculum (“the curriculum”) to supplement the existing USAID-funded JAdi Pengusaha MandiRI (Become an Independent Entrepreneur – JAPRI) entrepreneurship training program.
Location
The completed curriculum will be utilized by trainers and learners in East Java, Indonesia. Preparation work may be done remotely. Local travel may be needed.
Expected Timeline

JAPRI Entrepreneurship Training Program
JAPRI’s goal is to improve opportunities for Indonesians by creating self-employment through entrepreneurship for vulnerable youth ages 18 to 30. JAPRI leverages and tailors existing entrepreneurship resources to promote entrepreneurship among vulnerable youth. With the Institute of International Education (IIE) as the lead, JAPRI is implemented by a consortium of partners, including Prestasi Junior Indonesia (PJI), Mien R Uno Foundation (MRUF), Kelompok Perempuan dan Sumber-Sumber Kehidupan/Women’s Groups, Sources of Life (KPS2K) and Himpunan Wanita Disabilitas Indonesia (HWDI).
JAPRI’s unique approach is focusing on business mentoring and coaching as follow on activities after the training. Business mentoring is delivered by successful business owners who inspire the youth by sharing their own experience and tips and tricks. Business coaching is delivered by certified coaches who have completed JAPRI’s Training of Coaches. Coaches help youth to set targets for their businesses and find ways to address challenges. Business mentoring and coaching accelerates youth self-employment, shapes youth confidence in developing new businesses, and provides a support system for young entrepreneurs.
JAPRI’s objectives are to:
- Empower vulnerable youth to start and/or grow businesses through an increase in entrepreneurship knowledge and skills and access to business coaching and mentoring.
- Strengthen the capacity of local stakeholders to provide vulnerable youth entrepreneurs with ongoing support through increased commitment and readiness of stakeholders to adopt the JAPRI model.
- Empower women to access economic opportunities through increased basic entrepreneurship skills and strengthen the support system for women in business.
