        "summary": "BPJS Ketenagakerjaan is expanding its role beyond social protection by launching the PEKA programme in Kalimantan to foster economic independence among the heirs of deceased participants. The initiative provides entrepreneurship training and financial literacy education in collaboration with local government and Bank BTN. The programme aims to ensure that social security benefits serve as a foundation for sustainable income rather than merely covering short-term consumption needs.",
        "content": "<p>BPJS Ketenagakerjaan continues to strengthen its commitment to\nimproving the welfare of workers and their families, not only through\nsocial security protection but also by economically empowering the heirs\nof participants who have received benefits. This commitment is realised\nthrough the Economic Empowerment and Independence Programme for\nBeneficiaries (PEKA), implemented in the Kalimantan region. As a form of\nsustainable support, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan collaborated with the\nBalikpapan City Office of Cooperatives, SMEs and Industry (DKUKMP) and\nBank BTN Balikpapan Branch as strategic partners to provide training,\nmentoring, and enhanced financial literacy and inclusion for the heirs\nof participants who have received benefits. The programme aims to help\nheirs rebuild economic independence following the risks experienced by\ntheir families. The PEKA programme is designed so that social security\nbenefits not only serve as a temporary safety net for consumptive needs\nbut also become a foundation for establishing productive enterprises\nthat can grow into new sources of income. Through this initiative, BPJS\nKetenagakerjaan affirms its role not merely as a social security\nprovider but also as a driver of empowerment that delivers tangible\nimpacts on family welfare. The training and mentoring activities were\nattended by 30 beneficiaries who are heirs in the Kalimantan region. The\nPEKA activities are designed as an initial step in building their\nreadiness to develop independent and sustainable businesses. Chairman of\nthe Supervisory Board of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, Dedi Hardianto, welcomed\nthe collaboration with DKUKMP and Bank BTN in supporting the strategic\nsteps of the PEKA programme to make BPJS Ketenagakerjaan\u2019s programmes go\n\u2018beyond protection\u2019 for the families of beneficiary heirs. \u2018We fully\nsupport the PEKA programme for beneficiary heirs by collaborating with\nDKUKMP and BTN. Our hope is that when claim funds are received by the\nheirs, they will also have gained skills, so that after a husband passes\naway and income is lost, the heirs can continue their lives with the\nentrepreneurship and financial management skills we provide, thereby\nsustaining the family economy,\u2019 said Dedi. During the session, the Head\nof Bank BTN Balikpapan Branch, Bobby Chandra, provided education themed\n\u2018Peaceful Retirement, Protected Money, Meaningful Life\u2019. \u2018We are ready\nto support the PEKA programme initiated by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan to\nencourage heirs who have received benefits to manage their finances\nwisely. Starting from financial planning with proper management, so that\nthe claim benefits received by the heirs can sustainably safeguard the\nfamily\u2019s welfare,\u2019 said Bobby. On the same occasion, the Head of\nIndustrial Resource Technology at DKUKMP Balikpapan, Tonny Hartono,\nwelcomed the PEKA programme for providing training to the heirs of BPJS\nKetenagakerjaan beneficiaries. During the training, Tonny delivered\nmaterial on Building a Resilient Entrepreneurial Mindset in the Digital\nEra. \u2018In the digital era, building a business requires not only capital\nbut also a resilient entrepreneurial mindset towards technological\ndevelopments to see opportunities for developing a sustainable\nbusiness,\u2019 said Tonny. Through the PEKA Programme, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan\nhopes that the heirs receiving benefits can gain opportunities to grow\nand become economically empowered, so that the benefits of the\nemployment social security programme are felt more comprehensively, not\nonly as protection when facing occupational risks but also as a bridge\ntowards a more independent, productive, and prosperous life.<\/p>",
