Each Pre-Employment participant can obtain a total benefit of Rp4.2 million per person, comprising Rp3.5 million for the training fund, Rp600 thousand of incentive, and another Rp100 thousand after filling out the survey.
In 2024, the Pre-Employment program management partners with more training institutions to provide various types of skill training relevant to the job market demand.
The PraKerja program has reached communities in remote and underdeveloped areas and involved training centers in several regions.
The training offers a unique learning, wherein participants learn according to the flow or step-by-step. Although this learning is flexible, it requires commitment from its users.
