        "content": "<p>Surabaya (ANTARA) - Deputy Speaker of the Surabaya City Regional\nHouse of Representatives (DPRD) Arif Fathoni is pushing for job training\nprogrammes to be adjusted in line with the growing investment sectors in\nSurabaya, in order to increase local workforce absorption. \"Today we are\nseeing a new phenomenon. Previously, recess periods were always\ndominated by proposals for housing infrastructure and education, but now\nmany council members are receiving complaints about the need for\nemployment opportunities,\" Fathoni said on Tuesday. He assessed that\nthis dynamic reflects a shift in public needs accompanying economic\ndevelopment and incoming investment to the city. According to him, job\ncreation must become a regional development priority, as it requires\ncross-agency collaboration to produce targeted policies. Fathoni pointed\nout that sectoral egos still exist, meaning workforce training is not\nyet fully aligned with industry demands. \"We must not end up in a\nsituation where investment comes into the caf\u00e9, restaurant, or\nhospitality sectors, but the training provided does not match the needs\nof the job market,\" he stated. Consequently, he said, residents should\nhave the appropriate skills before the investments become operational.\n\"What the government must do is not wait for vacancies, but prepare the\ncommunity\u2019s skills according to the needs of the investment,\" he\nadded.<\/p>",
