Indonesia Boosts Workforce Quality to Enhance Global Competitiveness

Indonesia Prioritizes Human Resource ⁢Quality ⁣to Build a Competitive Workforce in⁢ the ⁢Digital Era

Jakarta, Indonesia – In a bold move to address the challenges of the digital age, ⁢the Indonesian‍ government has made improving the quality of human resources a top priority ⁣in its employment sector progress strategy. Minister of ⁢Manpower Yassierli emphasized that enhancing workforce⁤ quality is essential to‌ creating ⁤a competitive labor⁢ market in‌ today’s rapidly evolving global economy.

“The challenges facing ‍the Indonesian workforce⁣ are low education ‌levels and a lack of digital skills,” Yassierli stated in⁢ a​ recent ⁤press release. He highlighted ⁤that Indonesia’s human capital index and digital proficiency lag behind other⁢ ASEAN countries, underscoring the⁢ urgent need for conversion. ⁣

To bridge this gap, the government is accelerating efforts to align workforce training with global industry​ demands. Key areas of⁣ focus include green jobs, ‌medical⁢ technology,⁣ and the digital economy. “Indonesia’s human capital index remains below the ASEAN average. Therefore, we are‍ targeting‌ workforce upskilling and reskilling thru collaboration with educational⁢ institutions and​ industry-based​ training,” Yassierli explained.

The government’s strategy also emphasizes aligning ​workforce ⁣skills with ⁣digital transformation and the green economy. This includes enhancing‍ expertise in artificial intelligence, ​data analytics,⁣ and renewable energy. ‌Vocational training programs are a cornerstone of this initiative, with 3,320 programs available in‌ 2024 alone.⁤

In addition to vocational training, the‌ government⁤ is expanding competency certifications tailored to industry‍ needs. ‍These certifications aim to ⁤equip the Indonesian workforce with the skills necessary to compete in the global job market. ‍
