Jakarta (ANTARA) –

The Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs stated that the government is focused on revitalizing the vocational education system to anticipate job losses due to technological developments.

The Ministry’s Deputy for Increasing Labor Productivity, Chairul Saleh, in Jakarta, Wednesday, said that this effort was made by the government because vocational education is one of the sectors that has so far absorbed the largest workforce.

“We are also trying to transform the education system slowly because our workforce landscape is upper to lower middle class, and the most feasible way is through vocational education,” said Saleh at the event “Development of Digital Economy Policy, Employment and Micro, Small Enterprises . , and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)” in a briefing here, Wednesday.

Revitalizing vocational education will involve dialogue with business actors to find out the abilities or skill sets currently needed by industry, especially in the field of digitalization.

According to him, through collaboration and dialogue between education and industry, future employment will be more targeted.

“We need cooperation with industry, therefore we need constructive dialogue because industry must be able to balance the impact of digitalization and global trends,” he said.

Based on a survey by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), almost 9.9 million young people will not have education, employment or professional training in Indonesia in 2023.

This figure covers 22.25 percent of the total population aged 15–24 years nationally.

Responding to this, Saleh said the government was trying to solve the unemployment problem through the Pre-Employment Card Program (PraKerja).

“With technology and the use of digital, we need these skills (in technology) which we must accelerate,” he added.
