BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES
Capacity Building becomes one of DevCafe’s main programs to enhance skills and knowledge for organizations and communities to adapt and thrive in a fast-changing world. An essential ingredient in capacity-building is transformation that is generated and sustained over time from within; transformation of this kind goes beyond performing tasks to changing mindsets and attitudes. Currently, we have two capacity building programs, English Study Circle in Indonesia and Scholarship program in India.
English Study Circle
English proficiency has become a valuable asset and fundamental skill in today’s interconnected world. Strong English skills enable individuals to communicate effectively, seize opportunities, and benefit from improved communication, access to information, career advancement, problem-solving, and collaboration. To achieve these outcomes, the goal of the English Study Circle program is to provide immersion experiences that allow participants to actively participate in the process of learning English and develop fundamental skills to enhance their career aspirations and goals.
