ASEAN Foundation, Hewlett-Packard, TIFA Foundation collaborate on ICT Training in West and East Java, Indonesia
The ASEAN Foundation in collaboration with the TIFA Foundation conducted a series of information and communications technology (ICT) training workshops for micro-entrepreneurs in Indonesia under the Hewlett-Packard Entrepreneurship Learning Program (HP HELP) and Hewlett Packard Micro Enterprise Development Grant Initiative (HP MEDP). The training sessions were held on 1-18 June 2010 in East and West Java, Indonesia. They were aimed at building the capacities of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in using ICT as an enabling technology and learning ICT skills and applications for business development. So far the ASEAN Foundation had conducted two STSB and two GET-IT training courses for 72 micro-entrepreneurs and representatives of SME organizations from Sukabumi, Cianjur, Malang, Lombok and Bali, Indonesia. Smart Technology for a Smarter Business or STSB is designed to assist micro-entrepreneurs to access the technology solutions that address their daily challenges. On the other hand, the Graduate Entrepreneurship through Information Technology or GET-IT program is one of HP’s flagship social investment initiatives that helps young unemployed people and new graduates acquire the business and IT skills to enter the professional market or create their own businesses. TIFA Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Jakarta, Indonesia and a member of Friends of ASEAN. It promotes an open society that respects diversity and honors the rule of law, justice, and equality.
