A Future! & Workforce Preparedness Curriculum  BLOOM (Better Life Options and Opportunities Model) Indonesia ProjectFlores and Lembata Area  Background Plan International Indonesia is implementing BLOOM project and will address some of the major issues
preventing adolescents and young people in Indonesia from shaping their own
lives and choosing their own futures. The BLOOM project will build on Plan’s
current programming in the NTT province and address some of the major issues
preventing adolescents and young people from shaping their own lives and
choosing their own futures. The combination of life skills and workforce
preparedness seeking migration in order to find steady work, support their
children, and attain an adequate standard of living.

BLOOM is a nonformal education program
developed in 1987 that has been adapted and applied in more than fifteen
countries. A curriculum, Choose A Future! (CAF!) lies at the
heart of the BLOOM approach has 15 modules that expand youths’ knowledge of
goal setting, career planning, rights and responsibilities, reproductive
health, and other life skills that are not fully addressed in the formal school
system.  In addition to the CAF! Curriculum, the project will build on current Plan
resources including the new Workforce Preparedness curriculum. The workforce
preparedness modules have been

developed to
help youth
explore their job options and help them think through what kind of work they
would like to do. The youth
will learn and practice skills that will prepare them to seek and apply for
jobs, and also help them be successful once they have secured decent work.  

An
important differentiator of the BLOOM approach is how the curriculum is
delivered by local teams of facilitators and supported by local Project Support
Committees (PSC) comprised of local leaders, parents, and community volunteers
who serve as mentors and advocates for youth development. BLOOM builds
capacities and opportunities for youth as well as their communities.For
this project, we will use 90 percent of this existing material. Subject to
validation and additional inputs from the PSC and community stakeholders including religious leaders,
we will pare back sessions in the less critical modules (e.g. environmental
stewardship) to dedicate more curricular hours and enhanced content to the
modules focused on ASRH, and work preparedness competencies (focused on
exploring traditional and non-traditional wage and self-employment) and other CAF!
sessions where employment-relevant skills can be refined, inserted, or
further emphasized.As CAF curriculum has been
adapted in more then fifteen countires, the curriculum will also be adapted in
indonesia context, so does the workforce preparedness curriculum. These two curriculum
will be adapted in three districts – Nagekeo, Sikka, and Lembata – in NTT
Province as the working area of BLOOM Project in Indonesia.Objective Contextualization of CAF and Workforce Preparedness Curriculum is aimed at
putting some terms, stories, norms, illustration, and other information related
to SRH and lifeskills in CAF curriculum as well as the content of softskills in
Workforce Preparedness curriculum into Indonesian local context.  Parts of the Choose
A Future! curriculum were adapted to the Indonesian context for the 2015-2016 as pilot project in Sikka and Dompu. The full CAF! curriculum covers 15
modules (see text box), each with three to six sessions on specific topics with
learning objectives and “experiential learning” interactive activities. A
Financial Literacy supplement module was also developed with sessions covering
earning money, budgeting, saving, borrowing, and microfinance. The curriculums adaptation is expected to be led by the youth as their input and voices should also
be heard.   OutputThere will be a CAF curriculum
and a Workforce Preparedness curriculum that have been adapted and contextualized
to Indonesian context to be used in trainings in the each cycle of youth group in Nagekeo, Sikka, and Lembata.Scope of
