Kadin for Naker is a digital platform specifically for workers. The aim of Kadin for Naker is to provide training and skills development that can be accessed by all workers in Indonesia from various sectors and industries.
KADIN for Naker also provides opportunities for workers who wish to develop entrepreneurial skills.
