The HOPE iLearn Centre’s Terampil Digital Program, supported by the Orica Impact Fund and GroundProbe Indonesia, has completed a successful year of delivery—surpassing participation targets and strengthening digital skills among youth across Indonesia.

This update builds on the initial 2025 impact report and highlights program outcomes from September to December, with continued delivery in Balikpapan, Muara Enim, and Sangatta. Across these regions, the program supported underserved students with essential digital and soft skills to improve employability and future academic opportunities.

Building Practical, Job‑Ready Skills

The Terampil Digital Program focuses on core digital competencies needed in today’s workforce, including:

• Typing and computer fundamentals
• Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
• Foundational digital communication
• Soft skills such as personal branding and professional communication

Educators noted increased student confidence, stronger engagement, and improved readiness for real‑world work environments.

Record Participation and Strong Completion Rates

In 2025, the program reached 817 participants, more than double the original target of 380, reflecting strong school partnerships and growing community interest.

Despite different school schedules and local challenges, completion rates remained high:

• Balikpapan: 81%
• Muara Enim: 99%
• Sangatta: 99%

These results demonstrate the commitment of students, facilitators, and educators alike.

Regional Highlights
