Empowering Unemployed Indonesian Women & Securing Employment
Salonkita empowers unemployed Indonesian women by providing comprehensive beauty training, connecting them with employers and customers to generate a decent income. The founder's experience in empowering women revealed that beauty training aligned with market demand and women's interests. Initially offering 40 beauty classes through a physical school, Zoe Beauty School. It helped hundreds annually. Transitioning to an edtech platform, it now aims to impact thousands or even millions of women.
In Indonesia, where 140 million women, 50% of the female population are unemployed, Salonkita plays a transformative role.
Many women have limited education and financial resources, but Salonkita addresses these challenges by offering flexible online classes, affordable tuition, and scholarships for economically disadvantaged women.
Indonesia is home to 150,000 beauty salons that struggle to find qualified employees. Becoming a beauty professional is also the express lane for generating a decent income. With just one month of intensive training, a woman can master at least one beauty skill or treatment, such as nail art, which enables her to start earning. Salonkita connects graduates with these salons, as well as with other potential employers or customers, creating opportunities for employment or entrepreneurship. This platform bridges the gap between education and the workforce, leading to meaningful career opportunities for women with limited education and resources.
Our research indicated that women show more interest in beauty rather than other skills, which is why Salonkita chose beauty as the way to empower unemployed women.
Salonkita stands for women by offering accessible beauty education, equipping them with the skills, confidence, and resources to succeed in the beauty industry and achieve their dreams.
