It requires a strong mindset to empower the young generation of Papua. The island is rich in natural resources. It has given a lot to the people of Papua. However, the development of Papua can not rely on natural resources only. Human resources have a major part in pushing the development for the profit and well-being of the people.
The newly inaugurated PYCH in Jayapura is a creative hub for helping human resources development in Papua. The new program is the Nokentech partnership with Salesforce digital training. This kind of program is exactly what fits the young generation of Papua. The training provides contextual skills which can be used immediately for their work.
The Main Plan for Salesforce Digital Training
This training is not the only training at PYCH. As a start, there are 100 participants in the digital training. The materials will be on customer relationship management (CRM). This system combines technology, process, and humans and builds a business strategy.
Salesforce teaches the young generation of Papua about CRM software and how to use it to manage databases required in business. Most technology company uses CRM system. So, learning how to use and manage this system is useful for getting a job.
In the future, there will be more training to help the young people of Papua to gain new knowledge and skills in technology. Hopefully, it will help them to find a job.
The initiative and the entire program design in PYCH are from the young people of Papua who know what they need and how to improve themselves. The digital training is also specifically designed to teach the young people of Papua all the ropes in programming.
The training at Jayapura is the first of the series. Salesforce agrees to give training for a total of 3 years. However, it will on separate terms. The duration of each training is between six months up to one year.
At first, Salesforce will give a workshop to help participants get used to the materials and syllabus of the training. During the workshop, participants can let themselves familiar with the product too. They can learn all the details of the product before moving on to the next level.
The Ongoing Plan for Digital Training at PYCH
Audy Nelwan, the Managing Director of PT Nokentech Digital Indonesia, explained CRM as software that most technology companies use. That is including unicorn companies. The training is not only taking the participants to learn the techniques used in CRM. But also taking them to think about how to apply CRM system into the company system.
He hopes the training participants will use this opportunity to learn new digital skills. In the future, hopefully, one of the participants will be able to step up as a trainer and teach the younger generation.
Audy shared the ongoing plan for the partnership between Nokentech and PYCH. After digital training, Nokentech will still work alongside PYCH. There is a development project for one of PYCH’s applications, Manajemen Talenta Papua (MANTAP). In the future, the module from Salesforce will be added to MANTAP apps.
This training is the first for Papua Youth Creative Hub. However, Elia Musa Rawar, as the Program Manager of Technology at PYCH, hopes this partnership will pave the way for more events and partnerships in technology.
It also shows that stakeholders have heard about PYCH. So, there is always a chance for more technology events for young people of Papua at PYCH.
The plan from Nokentech is to give training to 100,000 participants. PYCH in Jayapura is the starting point. Then, they will move to the west and bring Salesforce digital training along the way.
