TELADAN

TELADAN, which means role model in Indonesian, is a scholarship and training program designed to equip the next generation of Indonesia’s leaders with the skills they need to make a meaningful contribution to the places in which they live and work. Participants are eligible for scholarships which cover the full cost of tuition and a monthly allowance, and also received structured leadership training and mentoring.

TELADAN aims to produce responsible leaders who are able to face tomorrow’s challenges by offering trainings in soft skills, internships and apprenticeships, community development programs, as well as activities which develop collaboration and networking skills. The program also helps address Indonesia’s still-low university gross enrollment rate, which in 2017 stood at 33.37%.
