He highlighted issues where degree-holding interns are given mismatched tasks and stressed the need for serious, disciplined participation to boost employability. The programme currently involves around 100,000 participants across various sectors, with completion certificates serving as key credentials for job readiness.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Yassierli has\nemphasised the importance for companies to adjust assignments for\nnational internship programme participants according to their respective\neducational backgrounds. \u201cThis adjustment is to ensure the learning\nprocess runs more effectively and is able to enhance participants\u2019\ncompetencies optimally,\u201d said Menaker Yassierli in his statement in\nJakarta on Thursday. According to him, there are still participants with\nbachelor\u2019s degree backgrounds who have not received assignments matching\ntheir education level. He assessed that this situation needs to be\nimproved so that participants can gain more relevant learning\nexperiences aligned with their possessed competencies. For example,\nYassierli found internship participants who are S1 graduates placed on\ntasks deemed not fully reflective of their educational background. In\nhis view, participants with bachelor\u2019s level education should be given\ntasks more suited to their abilities and competencies. \u201cFor S1\ngraduates, it is best to assign tasks that better represent their\neducation level,\u201d Yassierli stated. In addition to companies, the\nMinister also reminded national internship participants to maximise this\nopportunity as a means of learning and strengthening competencies before\nentering the workforce. He emphasised that the internship period must be\nundertaken seriously, with discipline and responsibility, to truly\nprovide benefits in enhancing participants\u2019 abilities and work\nreadiness. Yassierli hopes the national internship programme can become\nan effective means of improving skills, work experience, and\nparticipants\u2019 readiness in facing the evolving demands of the job\nmarket. Meanwhile, the national internship programme is currently\nfollowed by around 100,000 participants spread across various companies,\nministries, and institutions. Its implementation is carried out in\nstages. For stage I, 14,952 participants are scheduled to complete their\ninternship period on 19 April 2026. Participants who complete the\nprogramme for 6 months will receive an internship certificate, while\nthose who follow for more than 3 months but less than 6 months will\nobtain a certificate of participation. For participants, these documents\nare important as initial provisions to more convincingly demonstrate\nexperience and work readiness.<\/p>",
