In the era of information communication and technology, all aspects of human life are influenced by ICT. In general, the aim of this research is to identify the readiness of marginalized youth in relation to the use of ICT (knowledge, attitudes, and preferences) in the workplace. The research was conducted in three marginalized communities in three provinces in Indonesia, namely 1) Kalibaru in North Jakarta, 2) Getasan in Semarang Regency, Central Java, and 3) Sekotong in West Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. This research applies a quantitative approach by conducting a household survey and a youth survey, and a qualitative approach by conducting a series of focus group discussions. The household survey participants were 220 families, and in the youth survey, the participants were 220 youth aged 18-29 years. Questionnaires are used in household and youth surveys. For FGD, an FGD protocol was developed. The results of this research indicate that youth unemployment is considered an important policy in Indonesia. Certification for internships is important to recognize the qualifications and skills of the employees trained and mentored in the company. In addition, considering the limited number of job opportunities in the market, the intense competition, and the limited skills and education of marginalized young people, it seems important to encourage young people to become entrepreneurs. Data obtained from the field shows that only one-third of the participants in this study had attended vocational courses or training provided by any training provider. One of the reasons is that the distance between where they live and the training location is far, while transportation costs are not covered by the training provider. Apart from that, parents also forbid teenagers, especially girls, from going far outside the village to take part in job training. This study shows that young people understand the existence of differences in gender treatment in the workplace. The difference lies in the position of the worker, the regulations, and the salary/wages given to the worker.Men are expected to have higher positions, heavier work responsibilities, and higher salaries/wages than women. There are also gendered jobs, such as sewing and hairdressing for women, while technical jobs are reserved for men. The causes of this segregation are largely rooted in a patriarchal culture that places men as superior. This research shows that the participants have gadgets to communicate with each other. However, only a few of them use sophisticated gadgets to carry out online trading, which can be caused by a lack of knowledge and skills in digital trading and marketing, as well as online management and supply chains. This means that people have sophisticated gadgets just to communicate on social media and play games just to fill their time. They do not use it for economic activities.
