The practice of how Siparti 3-S applied through the KSM Sibermas project was inspired and motivated by the previous successful of the author’s project in executing a training program for the retrenched tertiary graduates who had lost their jobs due to the financial crisis during 1998, under the project was known as P3TProyek Penanggulangan Pengangguran Pekerja Terampil (Skilled Workers Unemployment Project).
