Coordinating Minister Urges Skills Development for Residents Venturing into New Jobs in Jakarta

Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Cultural Affairs, Muhadjir Effendy, has advised residents from Bandarlampung, Lampung, who are considering moving to industrial centers like Jakarta, to hone their skills before doing so. According to Effendy, new residents with high expectations but no skills contribute to the high unemployment rates in these industrial centers. Therefore, it is important for residents to carefully consider their skills, target jobs, and potential success before taking the plunge. While no one can prohibit residents from seeking employment outside their immediate locality, residents must be cautious and realize that living in a new city may not be as easy or successful as they may have initially thought. The advice of Effendy is timely and essential in the current job market, which is experiencing high unemployment rates.
