The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations on behalf of the German Government. We work to shape a future worth living in over 120 countries around the world.
GESIT project is part of an integrated solution to the global climate crisis consisting of numerous Indonesian-German cooperation projects that leverage synergies in the fields energy transition, forest conservation, circular economy, TVET and employment promotion. Through promoting green skills and jobs, GESIT contributes to a Just Energy Transition, the protection of forests and decarbonization of the Indonesian economy.
The Government of Indonesia has identified the transformation towards a green economy – an economy that is internationally competitive, environmentally sustainable, and socially inclusive – as a central strategy to promote continued high economic growth and to achieve the Indonesia Vision 2045, which focuses on Indonesia becoming a high-income country. Currently, however, there is a lack of an adequately skilled workforce to be able to exploit the employment potential of the growth of a green economy. The Indonesian-German Technical Cooperation project "Green Jobs for Social Inclusion and Sustainable Transformation (GESIT)" addresses the still insufficient awareness of the impact of the transformation to a green economy on the Indonesian labour market and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system as well as missing approaches and instruments to promote employment in green jobs. Its aim is to enable selected public and private stakeholders to inclusively promote employment in green jobs.
The project achieves this objective through the following four intervention areas: (1) Improving the policy framework and private sector participation for promoting employment in green jobs on national level, (2) Piloting inclusive approaches for upskilling and reskilling for green jobs, (3) Promoting employment in green jobs on subnational level, and (4) Strengthening the national-level monitoring and coordination of green jobs promotion. The sectoral focus of the project is on green skills and jobs in the energy transition, forest conservation and circular economy fields. The three pilot provinces for intervention area (3) are East Java, East Kalimantan, and Riau Islands. The political counterpart of the project is the Directorate for Labour and Employment of the Ministry for National Development Planning (Bappenas).
GESIT Project is therefore recruiting one Indonesian candidate for the following position:
