Bogor, W Java (ANTARA) - Manpower Minister Ida Fauziyah called on the National Movement for Competent Indonesia (GNIK) to help implement mandatory work competency certification according to Manpower Minister’s Decree Number 115 of 2022.

"I want to encourage various associations engaged in the competency sector, such as the GNIK, to ask their members, especially those from the human resource management sector, to support this ministerial decree," she stated on Saturday.
