Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education\n(Kemendikdasmen) continues to strengthen the competence quality and\nglobal networks of course and training institutions (LKP) to prepare\nhuman resources capable of competing professionally in the global labour\nmarket.<\/p>\n
The Director General of Secondary and Special Education at\nKemendikdasmen, Tatang Muttaqin, stated in Jakarta on Friday that course\nand training education possesses characteristics that can respond\nrapidly to the needs of the working world through flexible,\ncompetency-based training programmes designed in accordance with\nindustrial developments.<\/p>\n
\u201cCourse and training education plays a very strategic role in\npreparing a workforce ready to enter the labour market, as well as\nimproving the competence of the existing workforce,\u201d said Tatang.<\/p>\n
He noted that job opportunities are no longer limited to the domestic\nlabour market but are also widely available in various countries\nrequiring competent workers. According to him, these opportunities must\nbe optimally utilised by graduates of Indonesian LKPs. To achieve this,\nthe strengthening of LKP quality must be carried out in a structured\nmanner.<\/p>\n
This effort is being undertaken through the alignment of curricula\nwith industrial needs, increasing practical experience for students,\nstrengthening instructor competence, and expanding partnerships with the\nbusiness world, industry, and international partners. \u201cAs a result, the\ngraduates produced will not only meet national competency standards but\nwill also be able to meet the expectations of the international working\nworld,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Tatang added that skill sectors such as spa therapists and caregivers\nare among the strengths of LKPs that have high demand in various\ncountries. He assessed that both fields require workers who are not only\ntechnically competent but also possess a strong work ethic, integrity,\ncommunication skills, and care for service recipients.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the Director of Courses and Training at\nKemendikdasmen, Yaya Sutarya, stated that his department remains\ncommitted to driving the continuous improvement of LKP quality. This\nstep is realised through the development of industry-based curricula,\nthe strengthening of competency certification, increasing the capacity\nof educators and educational staff, and the expansion of partnerships\nwith the business world, industry, and international partners.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope to build a shared learning ecosystem regarding international\njob opportunities, global industrial competency needs, employment\nplacement challenges, and strategies to improve the quality of course\neducation graduates,\u201d said Yaya.<\/p>\n
According to Yaya, various webinar forums under the \u2018LKP Mendunia\u2019\n(Global LKP) series organised by his department are expected to\nstrengthen synergy between regulators, course education practitioners,\nand alumni in supporting the more structured and sustainable development\nof LKP graduate employability.<\/p>\n
Through this programme, Kemendikdasmen hopes that more Indonesian LKP\ngraduates will be able to pursue careers at an international level,\nserving as representatives of competent, professional, and globally\ncompetitive Indonesian human resources. He also urged various LKPs in\nIndonesia to continue transforming into institutions that are\nincreasingly adaptive and international in standard through the\nstrengthening of global industry-based curricula, improving the quality\nof practical facilities, enhancing foreign language learning, developing\na professional work culture, and expanding international cooperation\nnetworks.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/education-ministry-strengthens-competency-and-global-partnerships-for-training-centres-1783065300", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
