“Digital training is in line with the government’s Asta Cita, which highlights improvement of human resources through capacity building, either through formal education or vocational training,” the ministry’s director general for vocational training and productivity, Agung Nur Rohmad, said in a statement released here on Monday.
He said that his administration is collaborating with the Communication and Digital Ministry and an information technology corporation to host the training program.
Rohmad said that the training covers workplace environmental health and safety (EHS) rules, including introducing an efficient and practical approach for local subcontractors. It will also ensure participants’ job readiness, he added.
More than 40 technicians participated in the first batch of the training, which took place at the Huawei ASEAN Academy in CIBIS Park, South Jakarta, he informed.
More than 3 thousand technicians will take part in the next series of the training in the following six months, he added.
In the same statement, secretary of the Communication and Digital Affairs Ministry’s Human Resources Development Agency, I Nyoman Adhiarna, said that the ministry is ready to collaborate with Huawei and other stakeholders to improve people’s skills and prepare them for challenges in the digital era.
“Through end-to-end training that includes the basics up to advanced skills, it will support the realization of the government’s target to achieve an inclusive digital ecosystem,” he added.
Meanwhile, vice president, management transformation, Huawei Indonesia, Jeffrey Wang, said that as a global infrastructure provider, the corporation can carry out knowledge transfer in terms of 5G utilization through real cases.
“Establishing strong digital infrastructure and training human resources (until they are) capable are important to achieve long-term economic goals,” Wang added.
He said that his company has trained at least 127 thousand talents during five years of collaboration with the government, industry, universities, and suppliers.
The goal is to prepare human resources who are ready to rise to the challenges of the future, as well as contribute to employment generation in the country, he added.
“It directly supports the vision of Golden Indonesia 2045,” he said.
