"Every year this program has a target of 100,000 participants," he said in an official statement received in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Yassierli stated that it aligns with the goal of the national internship program, which is to provide experience directly in the workplace so that the participants are better prepared to face industry challenges after graduation.
"This program is not just a place to learn, but a platform to understand real work practices. I hope all participants can take advantage of this opportunity to improve their technical skills, work discipline, and professionalism," he said.
Furthermore, Yassierli emphasized the importance of mentors in guiding interns, so that their knowledge and experience can be applied in real situations.
"Participants must learn seriously from mentors, absorb knowledge, and develop skills to be ready for the real world. Discipline, enthusiasm for learning, and the implementation of occupational health and safety (K3) must be priorities during the program," he said.
Meanwhile, the Manpower Ministry also confirmed that it is actively reviewing programs, which are included in the government's economic stimulus.
Recently, the minister reviewed the implementation of the national internship program at Balai Yasa Yogyakarta.
He stated that the visit was to ensure the program was running smoothly, providing real-work experience, and improving the competencies of young people, so they are ready to work.
