What Skills does

Skills.id, operated by Indonesian private company PT. Global Retail Bersama and headquartered in South Jakarta, is a vocational training platform that delivers courses through an integrated Learning Management System (LMS) supporting four modalities: self-paced video, live webinars, offline workshops, and in-person bootcamps. The catalog spans 10+ categories — language, business, crafts, marketing, design, sales, journalism, management, lifestyle, and communication — with 31 listed courses and over 1,000 students served across 7 years of operation. Pricing is unit-based and ranges from Rp50,000 for short videos to Rp6,500,000 for SKKNI-aligned intensive barista training, indicating a horizontal, consumer-leaning SKU mix rather than a single enterprise-grade offering.

The company's business model rests on three revenue streams: (i) direct e-commerce course sales via the Skills.id website, (ii) transaction-fee-based redemptions through the Indonesian government's Kartu Prakerja program — where participants redeem Rp3,500,000 government training vouchers for approved courses and receive supplementary incentives (Rp600,000 job-search allowance and survey rewards) — and (iii) a professional-services "Skills for Corporation" B2B line for employee training. Distribution is omnichannel: a self-serve site, a dedicated Prakerja dashboard channel, marketplace listings on Tokopedia, Bukalapak, and Pintar, plus a physical training center in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta. Corporate identity, partnerships, and operational metrics are entirely first-party disclosed on the platform; there is no app, no public API, no disclosed funding rounds, no management team bios, and no revenue figures.
