Former NTB Industry Head, Once Demoted, Secures Position at Ministry of Manpower
Former Head of the NTB Industry Department, Nuryanti, has been officially inaugurated as Director of Job Opportunity Expansion at the Ministry of Manpower (Kemenaker). Despite this, Nuryanti was previously demoted from her position as Head of Department to Head of the Deposit Section at the NTB Library and Archives Department.
Nuryanti confirmed her inauguration as an echelon II official at the Republic of Indonesia’s Ministry of Manpower as Director of Job Opportunity Expansion. The inauguration took place today in the Tridharma Room, Building A, 2nd Floor, Ministry of Manpower, South Jakarta.
Prior to the inauguration, Nuryanti registered for the open selection of High Leadership Positions at Kemenaker RI since January 2026. This registration followed obtaining permission from NTB Governor Lalu Muhamad Iqbal.
“So, I already have permission from the Acting Governor, and starting today, I am officially working at the central level,” she stated when contacted by telephone on Tuesday (7/4/2026).
She mentioned that she maintained communication with the NTB Provincial Government throughout the selection process. In fact, the Acting Secretary of the Regional Government of NTB was invited to the inauguration event.
“Yes, Mr. Secretary was invited. Moving forward, we are thinking for Indonesia; every province has needs regarding job expansion, including NTB,” she said.
Her new position falls under the Directorate General of Workforce Placement Development and Job Opportunity Expansion. She committed to providing the best service, impacting Indonesia based on what she has pioneered during her duties in NTB.
“Alhamdulillah, if from the track record, it is very determining, so the compilation of the track record and portfolio for the last two to five years of what has been done is very helpful, and that becomes the biggest determining factor in the assessment,” she said.
