JAKARTA - The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) asked cooperation contract contractors or KKKS to empower local people to have careers in the upstream oil and gas industry. Head of the Human Resources Division of SKK Migas Hudi Suryodipuro said the program the development of local sons is important so that they have the necessary skills in the oil and gas industry.

"I ask the KKKS for community development programs so that later local sons will want to enter, they have the necessary skills," Hudi said as quoted from Antara, Tuesday, June 28.

SKK Migas will collaborate in developing local youth empowerment programs through the human resources division of SKK Migas and the CSR of oil and gas companies.

Hudi took the example of the apprentice program at BP plc which is now in the fourth batch of train III at the Tangguh LNG Plant.

Especially for the fourth batch, it is purely not intended to be absorbed by BP, but rather a community development program.

"In fact, we are not too worried because the track record has been proven from graduates from previous apprentices who have been absorbed in Qatar, some in Brunei Darussalam," he explained. In 2020, SKK Migas recorded the number of workers in the upstream oil and gas industry was recorded as 22,609 people.

However, the number of workers has reached 19,243 people in the first quarter of 2022 and is projected to increase until the fourth quarter of this year.

Hudi said that the contribution of upstream oil and gas to develop human resources is not only to prepare local sons to enter oil and gas companies, but so that they have sufficient competence so that they can be absorbed by various regions and even other countries.

In addition to encouraging the involvement of local men, SKK Migas also asked universities and colleges to prepare skilled workers to work in the upstream oil and gas industry. At this year's IHRS, at least 260 universities were involved in the event. SKK Migas involves campus parties so that they can understand the qualifications needed by the upstream oil and gas industry and can develop educational curricula that are in accordance with the times. The number of conference participants was recorded as around 1,300 professionals and human resource practitioners attending the 2022 IHRS.
