UnileverYOU-STEP! Program Participant - Soft Skills Training with Unilever & KONEKIN
Jul. 2023 - Jan. 2024IndonesiaYOU-STEP! stands for Youth of Unilever's Self-Development Training and Enhancement Program, a collaborative effort between Unilever Indonesia and Koneksi Indonesia Inklusif (KONEKIN) to equip 21 differently-abled Indonesian youths with the skills and mindset needed for successful job placement. The program comprises five intensive workshops:
- Communication 101: Mastering effective communication skills.
- Digital Savvy Skill: Embracing technology for professional success.
- Leadership "How to Lead and be Led": Honing leadership and teamwork abilities.
- Becoming Business-Ready Talents: Cultivating business acumen and readiness.
- Career Readiness and Exploration: Charting a path towards dream careers. Each workshop culminates in a practical mini-project, reinforcing the learned skills. Additionally, the program provides five personalized mentoring sessions led by seasoned Unilever leaders. My mentor, Mrs. Mardhina, played a pivotal role in my personal and professional development. He fostered my self-awareness, instilled my core values, ignited my drive for excellence, and guided me in pursuing my career aspirations. Applying these workshop learnings to the mini-projects honed my communication, analytical thinking, leadership, market research, and problem-solving skills while fostering greater self-confidence.
