JAKARTA - Implementing Management of the Pre-Employment Card Program (PMO) invites quality training institutions (LP) throughout Indonesia, who have joined or who have not, to prepare a Pre-Employment Card program with a normal scheme that will start in the first quarter of 2023.

Director of Communication, Program Partnership and Ecosystem Development Kurniasih Suditomo said the government ensured that the Pre-Employment Card Program would continue in 2023 after the COVID-19 pandemic subsided.

The Pre-Employment Card Program now focuses on increasing competence, productivity, entrepreneurship, and the competitiveness of the workforce.

"The continuation of the Coordinating Minister said that on January 5 yesterday, PMO was inviting more training institutions to join the pre-employment ecosystem, meaning that they wanted to take part in the selection, including the proposal to become part of the Pre-Employment ecosystem," he said at a press conference, Wednesday, January 18.

Kurniasih said that all coaching institutions in the Pre-Employment Card Program for the semi-social assistance (bansos) scheme were declared invalid.

This is because the standards are different.

The standard that we apply in the normal scheme in the first quarter of 2023 until the future is new. So the old coaching institution must resubmit again to become part of the exosystem with a new standard so that they are tested again and curated again," he said.

As directed by the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto, said Kurniasih, the selection process for training institutions will involve an independent team of experts who carry out the function of accreditation.

Kurniasih explained, the standard quality of training in 2023 will be improved by using more than 90 assessment indicators.

Monitoring standards also increased with more than 70 indicators, assisted by an independent monitoring team.

"We are looking for LP to invite LP to join our ecosystem, but we also have a disclaimer that we curate all the LPs that enter and are assisted by an independent team of experts, the expert team is on campus, the industrial world is not the PMO itself is testing it," he said.

However, Kurniasih reminded, as has been taking place in the semi-social assistance scheme, training that has passed the assessment and has been broadcast on digital platforms does not guarantee that participants will be selected.

" Training institutions must compete in quality and price," he explained.
