Why Aspiration Foundation exists
Yayasan Aspirasi Bagi Bangsa funds vocational training for young Indonesians and supports them from classroom to career.
The workforce mismatch starts long before the workplace.
Net enrollment falls from 93.5% in primary school to 60.67% by senior high — Indonesia's lowest rate among OECD-tracked countries for ages 15–19. We build the bridge from wherever a young person's education ends to a credentialed job.
Rural dropout at the upper-secondary level runs higher than urban, and even students who reach university disproportionately leave private institutions unfinished, mostly for economic reasons. Government support through KIP and KIP Kuliah has helped, but reach is uneven. The result: a large annual pool of graduates who are willing but not placement-ready — in nursing and beyond.
We connect people, programs, and resources so no graduate is left stranded.
