Pijar Foundation’s Journey Towards a Brighter Indonesia

In the heart of Indonesia, where the vibrant pulse of a rich culture meets the challenges of a rapidly changing world, the Pijar Foundation stands as a beacon of hope and innovation. Their story is one of resilience, passion, and a relentless drive to shape a prosperous future for the nation and beyond.

Did you know that many people in Indonesia lack equal access to education, employment, and entrepreneurship opportunities due to inefficient and convoluted policies? Rather than being dissapointed with the situations, Pijar Foundation is dedicated to make a change by focusing on catalyzing three key areas: talent development, innovation and entrepreneurship, and innovative public policy. Since 2021, we have worked with strategic players who influence economics, policy-making, and innovation. Below are few individuals driving these changes

Testimonials from Our Programs

“Through Future Skills, I gained important learning regarding business development and how to create a sustainable impact. Future Skills also opened up the opportunity for me to network with experts and role models that I had been looking for. I already benefitted from Future Skills, now it is your turn.”

"Future Skills class includes practical sessions, not just theory, so I can immediately apply the knowledge I gain. For example, in the Future Skills class with Shopee, I learned how to operate the Shopee application. Then in the DNVB class, since I don’t know much about the content creation world because I study law, I gained new insights from this class."

I used to feel that my public speaking wasn't very good because I often mixed Indonesian with Javanese. Through the Future Skills class with LPK Geti, I learned how to improve my public speaking. In addition, in this class, I also got to know about UI/UX and entrepreneurship programs. I hope that Future Skills will be better known to all Indonesian people who, like me, have not been able to receive higher education.

GLOBAL FUTURE X

FUTURE SKILLS

"The existence of a multisectoral platform such as this GFF opened my mind about food security especially the role of KLHK, how it is implemented in the field, and how other sectors play a role. At the end of the residency, we agreed on a joint collaborative action plan to realize food security in Indonesia."
