Abstract

The future of youth in any emerging countries has received attention from various stakeholders, including government, corporations and non-governmental organizations. The reason is that globalization creates competition and that competitiveness does not take a day to build. The concern also arises from regionalization, for example, the upcoming ASEAN Economic Community, whereas all individuals are considered borderless in regards to employment and specifically skills. How can countries, regardless of state-non state organizations empower youth by providing skills development? Accenture and Indonesia Business Links (IBL) – an NGO specifically focus on CSR -- partnered to develop an empowerment model for youth, by using a pilot in Karawang, West Java.  Through a simple survey and focus group discussions with stakeholders, Accenture and IBL produced a model that would be able to facilitate entrepreneurship and employability. Although the finding indicates that employability is still the main concern of youth rather than entrepreneurship, the model can be used as the basis for corporations deciding on which program to focus.
