JAKARTA - The Pre-Employment Card Program is again in the spotlight of many parties. Not only because it was not right on target, but also because the online training material provided was considered very basic, not even worth the cost.

One of the Pre-employment Card participants, Juniansyah Azari, revealed that the material he got while participating in the online training on 'tricks to be a YouTuber' via the Geti Incubator website, was far from his expectations. In fact, this training is a requirement for participants to get a certificate.

"So for the training I took the 'trick to be a YouTuber' Rp.335,000. The name of the training service is geti incubator. My hope is why choosing it is material, because the initial expectations must be that the training is good and certainly more in-depth in terms of becoming a YouTuber," said Juniansyah, to VOI, in Jakarta, Saturday, May 2.

After participating in the training, Juniansyah assessed that the costs incurred by the state to provide online training facilities to the Pre-employment Card participants were not comparable to the training materials. This is because the material provided is like free content on the YouTube platform.

"So yes, I don't think I got anything from the training in theory. So the point is, from the discussion of the material I was given, I didn't get the essence," he said.

Not only that, Juniansyah also admitted that he felt that there was something strange about the online training video provided on the institution's official website. This is because the three videos provided contain the same material.

"There is something that makes me feel strange, it doesn't match the price (the training). This is a clear service, you don't give the training. The period of the three modules provided is the same as all the contents. In fact, video chapter three has the words' this video has been deleted for violation. "I forgot," he said.

Juniansyah then tried to ask the training institution, Geti Incubator, which can be accessed via online.geti.id. However, unfortunately his complaint via email or the institution's official social media did not receive an answer.

"I already asked directly to the service. I didn't reply via email, so I just DM (direct message) via Instagram (official). My question was not answered regarding the video chapters 1, 2 and 3. The drawback was that I couldn't ask and answer questions. in the video. Only the contact person is email and telephone, "he explained.

Even so, Juniansyah still thinks positively, that not all training institutions are provided for pre-employment card participants such as Geti Incubator.

"I just opened a training program, it doesn't mean that all the training partners are like this. Later I want to try another one, to see if it is the same as the training I participated in before," he concluded.

For your information, the provision of training is in accordance with Presidential Decree Number 36 of 2020 concerning the development of work competencies through the Pre-Work Card program. In this program, participants are given a training fee of IDR 1,000,000 which will later be used to purchase 2,000 available training packages from 233 training institutions.
