Abstract
Information and communication technology (ICT) has become an essential aspect of modern life. Everybody has to deal with ICT, especially for work. In Asia, ICT skills involve five main aspects: software development, ICT project management, enterprise architecture design, network and system administration, and information system and network security. However, there is a gap between ICT skills in Indonesia and the demand in the Asia framework. Every year Indonesia sends workers to Singapore. In contrast, most of those workers are skilled workers for the household. Moreover, their job responsibilities are taking care of the house, babysitting, taking care of elderly people and drivers. Yet, some of them have ICT skills, and some others do not have them.
