"In its development, we hope that human resources can take advantage of the infrastructure that has been built, especially for skilled, creative, innovative, and adaptive human resources that currently cannot be fulfilled optimally," Darmansyah said.
It is hoped that vocational education and training programs will produce graduates who can meet the industry's needs, he added.
Darmansyah also said he expected the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), as an institution that represents private players, to contribute to the development of vocational education and training.
