Residents Of Penajam-Kutu Kartanegara Ready To Become 'Players' Are Not Spectators In The Capital City Of The Archipelago

SEPTAKU - The Capital Authority of the Archipelago (OIKN) involves local residents who are superior and competitive in the construction of IKN which covers parts of North Penajam Paser Regency and Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan Province.

"Development is not only focused on infrastructure, but also on the management of quality human resources (HR)," said Deputy for Social, Culture and Community Empowerment of OIKN Alimuddin in Sepaku, Penajam Paser Utara, Antara, Sunday, November 2.

OIKN is committed to presenting a superior and competitive local community as an integral part of IKN development. At least 30 percent of the workforce in partner companies operating in the IKN area is expected to come from local communities, as a form of sustainable empowerment in the region.

This step is expected to provide direct benefits for local residents while strengthening their role in supporting the development and management of the IKN area.

One form of implementation of this program is the basic education of the security guard of the Pratama Regional Apparatus for 47 participants from Sepaku District, North Penajam Paser Regency. They are prepared to become superior, disciplined, and competent environmental security personnel.

This training aims to form the community around IKN so that they are ready to work and have competency standards that are recognized nationally. With this certification, local people are expected to be able to compete and not only be spectators in IKN development.

“Pendidikan dan pelatihan bersertifikat ini menjadi kesempatan berharga untuk meningkatkan kemampuan sekaligus memperluas peluang karier di masa depan. Masyarakat lokal harus disiapkan menjadi pemain di IKN, dengan terus berlatih dan mempersiapkan diri,” ujar Alimuddin.
