In the roadmap of Indonesian Bureaucratic Reformation Agendas, one of the goals to be realized in 2025 is the professionalism of the Public Service Apparatus (PSA). The millennium generation of PSA (Gen Y) is expected to play bigger and better role in the realization of the goal than its parents, the baby boomer generation. Accordingly, the first is challenged to boost their capacities and qualities as fast as possible in spite of the limited budget available for their development. This will be possible if the Gen Y is capable of doing Self-Directed Learning (SDL). In regards to that, this paper discusses the Gen Y perspective of their ability in carrying out of SDL. It aims to identify both challenges and resolution to be faced by both the Government Institutions responsible for training and educating PSA in Indonesia and their parent organization. The discussion is based on a survey conducted on the millennial generation of Indonesian Public Service working in several central and local governments.
