In 2019, the Indonesian Government will start human resource development programs massively across the country, President Joko “Jokowi” Jokowi said.

“I have asked my Ministers to include as many human resources development programs as possible in their next year’s planning,” said President Jokowi during a Plenary Cabinet Meeting, at the State Palace, Jakarta, Wednesday (5/12).

For example, the President requested Ministry of Manpower to build 1,000 Vocational Training Centers (BLK) in Islamic boarding schools in 2019.

In the meantime, Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) has been requested by the President to run a certification program for technical personnel.

“I think it can be started as soon as possible,” President Jokowi said, adding that similar programs can be applied in Ministry of Agriculture to send their Field Officers to overseas trainings, particularly to Taiwan as the country is mastering the agricultural sector.

As for Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), the President suggested the similar training programs can be applied to BUMN employees and involve its surrounding communities.

“I urged other Ministries to adopt similar programs,” President Jokowi said.

For Ministry of Tourism, President Jokowi recommended to organize trainings in areas that have tourism potential..

“I think cooperation between Vocational High Schools and industries that have been established by Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Education and Culture also needs to be significantly intensified,” President Jokowi added.

Moreover, the President went on saying that other Ministries such as Ministry of Research and Technology and Higher Education, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ministry of Transportation can implement similar training programs for their employees as well as the communities.
