JAKARTA - Executive Director of Pre-Employment Card Program Implementing Denni Puspa Purbasari said, as many as 53 percent of Pre-Employment participants from women are very interested in the training that is often carried out by men. For example, air conditioning technicians.

"A total of 53 percent of the at least participants from the right-hand training (slide) were attended by women. What kind of training is it? This is a training whose association is a male participant," he said in a Public Discussion: Pre-Employment and Indonesian Women monitored online, Wednesday, September 13.

Denni said the first training was cleaning and installing air conditioning. "We know on several platforms, when the air conditioner is cleaned regularly, we will then call the handyman. Don't be surprised later if a woman comes, because once again the Pre-Employment provides the training for AC technicians," he said.

The second training is for motorcycle mechanics. Denni said that women really like this training so they can repair their own vehicles without having to go to the workshop.

"Also don't be surprised if women can service their own motorbikes. Especially, for remote areas, for mothers who use two-wheeled vehicles to work, maybe they can do more to treat their own motorbikes," said Denni.

Next, training related to information technology or IT, especially regarding data. According to Denni, this is the most followed by female participants.

"We know the data is really cold in the world now. Many of the women then took training related to the data analysis"

Then, programming microcontrollers and android for applications.

"This association is also male, but it turns out that many women take this training in Pre-Employment. Including here is the assembly and repair of computers for computer technicians," he said.

So far, the number of participants in the Card Program has reached around 17 million people. Of the 17 million, about 51 percent of them are women.

According to Denni, there are four profiles of Pre-Employment recipients for women, namely as many as 4 percent are heads of families, and 77 percent are unemployed women before participating in the Pre-Employment Card Program.

Then, as much as 88 percent of women have never attended vocational training before, and as many as 34 percent are women who have never had a bank/e-wallet account before.

"So, this pre-employment card program (can help) in forming women's finances independently," he concluded.
