Karya

Building Professional Readiness for the Workforce

PUPA Karya is not about entering employment quickly, but about building strong, meaningful readiness to engage in the world of work

Ready to work, Ready for life

PUPA Karya is a one-year work readiness program designed to support neurodivergent adults in preparing for their transition into the workforce. The program focuses on self-awareness, skill-development, understanding work roles, and exploring potential fields of employment.

Participants at PUPA Center engaged in practical job exploration through hands-on horticulture activities, building vocational skills and workplace readiness in a real-world setting.

  • The program is structured into two distinct phases. The first six months focus on vocational training and strengthening work-related skills through individual and group support. The following six months emphasize real-world work practice through partnerships, business units at PUPA Center, and the involvement of parents across diverse environments and roles.

  • PUPA Karya serves as the natural continuation from the PUPA Mandiri Program. Participants who have completed the Life Skills Program at PUPA Mandiri may continue to PUPA Karya as a follow-up program, with work readiness as its primary milestone.

  • This division is also open to working-age neurodivergent individuals who did not attend PUPA Mandiri but already demonstrate a level of independence aligned with the goals of the PUPA Karya Program. We look for participants ready to explore their potential and move toward meaningful employment.
