Abstract
A workforce competency
development program is required to enhance the skills of the workforce,
including individuals with disabilities, one of which is the Kartu Prakerja
Program in Indonesia. This research aims to analyze the relationship between
enrollment in the Kartu Prakerja Program and the employment status of people
with disabilities, as well as the potential of this program to improve their
income. Using data from the 2021 national labor force survey, the selected
sample for the study consisted of 634 respondents. It was found that the
majority, amounting to 66.2%, were not accepted into this program, particularly
from the self-employed and laborer/employee categories. The analysis confirmed
that the utilization of the Kartu Prakerja Program did not significantly impact
the income of people with disabilities. The overall att (average treatment
effect on the treated) values indicate a negative impact, albeit statistically
insignificant. The government needs to develop a training program tailored to
the needs and abilities to enhance the positive impact on workforce competency
development, especially for individuals with disabilities.
