VOCATIONAL TRAINING MUST MATCH AVAILABLE JOBS : PRESIDENT
Sragen, Indonesia, June 30 (ANTARA) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said vocational training must be provided for would-be workers based on the needs of existing economic activities so that none of them would remain unemployed.
"It is important in the future that district heads, mayors and businessmen are required to train ready-for-work people. But it should not happen that education centers produce thousands of would-be workers with skills that have nothing to do with the real needs of local economic activities," the president said when inaugurating the integrated Ganesha Sukowati Techno Park vocational training center here on Tuesday.
He said the number of workers who could not be absorbed in 2005 and 2006 due to the impact of the 1997 economic crisis was high, or higher than need.
But thanks to the implementation of a number of polices to increase economic growth and create job opportunities, now about 2.2 million workers were absorbed.
"We should make sure how many workers are needed and a synergy must be made. What is important is that the number of workers and field of work must match," he said.
Besides calling for the creation of skilled workers, the president also reminded the importance of entrepreneurship by opening entrepreneurship training and the availability of capital.
"There are entrepreneurs who create job opportunities. In this case, the government supports it. Educational institutions have also been supported with the availability of the people's business credit which in 2008 reached Rp12 trillion and in 2009 is estimated at Rp20 trillion.
The president on the occasion also reminded those who had obtained employment to continue working well. "I hope that those who have got jobs will continue to work well. The government and employers have the obligation to assure that workers are paid well," he said.
He also asked employers to do a good business and raise workers' wages if they obtained more profit.***
