Minister Of Manpower And Minister Of MSMEs Agree To Take Advantage Of The Job Training Center

JAKARTA - Minister of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Maman Abdurrahman and Minister of Manpower Yassierli held a meeting today, Friday, January 31.

In the meeting which was held at the Smesco Building, the two agreed to use the work training center (BLK) belonging to the Ministry of Manpower to be used by MSME entrepreneurs throughout Indonesia.

"Earlier, we agreed on a big idea, namely that we will create a simultaneous entrepreneurship training program throughout Indonesia. Later we will use the Ministry of Manpower facility and later we will prepare a training module for all workers that we encourage to become entrepreneurs in Indonesia," Maman told the media crew after holding a meeting, Friday, January 31.

Maman added, for the initial stage, his party is targeting to involve 5,000 to 10,000 MSME actors throughout Indonesia.

Currently, he said, the Ministry of Manpower and the Ministry of MSMEs will form a team and hold trials within 3 months.

"And earlier we agreed to try to push it not too long, in the next 3 months we will realize this as a pilot project for the collaboration program," said Maman.

Maman said this was a directive from President Prabowo Subianto to collaborate between ministries by utilizing the infrastructure owned by the Ministry of Manpower.

"Instead of building more infrastructure, it's better for us to use the facilities owned by the Ministry of Manpower

Meanwhile Yassierli said that currently the Ministry of Manpower manages 330 government-owned centers and more than 4,000 community-owned BLKs

"We welcome it because these are state facilities, the centers are not ministry centers, they belong to the state which must be utilized as optimally as possible," he explained.

Later this cooperation will be confirmed through a Memorandum of Understanding or memorandum of understanding.

"Comptonate! That's a technical problem later. Later there will be an MOU because this is a state facility," said Yassierli.
