Kampus Diakonia Modern (KDM) is a social institution assisting development of street children located in Pondok Gede, Bekasi, West Java, is looking for dynamic and creative individual to take up position below:
*What is Entrepreneur Program?*
Through KDM’s extensive network, our children are exposed to many career opportunities that allow them to develop into independent, young adults. They have the choice to continue furthering their education and improving their skills in an internship program or college through one of our various sponsors.
*Entrepreneur Program Project Manager*
At KDM we are currently setting up a new business unit. Within this 'design' business unit we are involved in a big project called Ffrash (partnering yayasan). In Indonesia we have an abundance of garbage but there is also an abundance of skilled workers who are very good in
handcrafting and furniture making. Ffrash combines these two aspects. The idea of Ffrash is to make design furniture from trash. Together with well-known Dutch designers who will join this project, Ffrash will design and produce furniture made from trash. In this process, a group of KDM youngsters is involved. These youngsters will learn everything about design, and they will be learning on-the-job how to become entrepreneurs themselves. The products will ultimately be sold in Indonesia and in the Netherlands. The brand name of these products will be “Ffrash” (a hybrid of Trash and Fresh).
*Responsibilities:*
Your main responsibility is to be the contact person between KDM and our partner ‘Ffrash’. As this is a new and big project, communication is a key factor to make it a success. Furthermore you will be managing the youngsters and the activity on the work-floor. You will be responsible for the safety at the workshop, you will be monitoring and managing the raw material & packaging stock, you will be planning and assigning the work on the work floor, and you will be responsible for the cleanliness of the workshop.

You have great organizational skills and a hand on mentality (getting things done) and you don’t run a way for unforeseen challenges.

- Excellent computer skills
*What’s in it for you?*
If you join the KDM organization you will get the chance to do great things. Not only can you help less fortunate teenagers to create a better future for themselves, you can also expose yourself as a great manager.
