Abstract:

The Ministry of Agriculture is initiating the birth of millennial farmers as an alternative to accelerate farmer regeneration, including through the Youth Entrepreneurship and Em- ployment Support Services Programme (YESS Programme). After seeing the background of youth unemployment, one of the issues that can be identified in the stakeholder analysis of the YESS program is the effectiveness of the program in addressing youth unemployment. Research related to stakeholder role analysis has been widely used for various programs, so it is also essential to conduct research for the YESS program to identify stakeholder roles in the development of the program. This research aims to identify the actors involved in implementing the YESS program and to identify and analyse stakeholder roles in the YESS program in the Pagelaran District of Malang Regency. The analysis technique used in this research is Stakeholder Analysis (Reed, 2009). There are 13 actors involved in the YESS program, with key players including millennial farmers, Young Facilitators, Trainers, DIT, Mentors, BDSP, Financial Advisors, Supporting Staff, and Mobilizers. Stakeholders acting as crowds are the District Government and Village Government. Stakeholders acting as subjects are Off-Takers and Banks

Abstract:

International students are more likely to experience mental health issues and increased stress. Mental health is often surrounded by negative societal stigmas that act as barriers to seeking support and tend to lead to greater mental health concerns. International students tend to seek socioemotional support from other international student peers rather than seeking out counseling services. However, this study shows that LGBTQIA+ international students were less likely to seek socioemotional support from other international student peers due to fear of their sexual orientation being discovered and their families finding out about their identity. This study examines how LGBTQIA+ international students talk about their experiences on and off campus in relations to their socioemotional well-being. Specifically, this study sought to better understand the complexities of LGBTQIA+ students’ identities, and the challenges they faced in terms of their socioemotional well-being. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
