Ministry of Manpower and Pelita Air collaborate to strengthen aviation industry human resources development
Jakarta — The Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) has established a collaboration with airline PT Pelita Air Service (Pelita Air) to strengthen human resources (HR) development in the aviation industry.
Cris Kuntadi, the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Manpower, stated in Jakarta on Friday that this partnership also supports the smooth operational functioning of ministry employees across various regions of Indonesia.
“We express our appreciation and gratitude to PT Pelita Air Service for their commitment and openness in collaborating with the Ministry of Manpower. This collaboration represents a positive step in strengthening synergy between the government sector and the business world, particularly in supporting the ministry’s dynamic tasks and functions,” said Cris.
Cris added that the Ministry of Manpower has Technical Implementation Units (UPTP) distributed across various regions of Indonesia. Therefore, he continued, this collaboration is intended to support the smooth operation and functioning of ministry employees in carrying out their duties.
Beyond operational support, Cris noted that the collaboration also encompasses the implementation of labour aspects, including the preparation and development of human resources in the aviation industry.
“We have several Vocational Training and Productivity Centres (BPVP). We hope this collaboration opens space for the preparation of aviation HR. So, whatever type of aviation HR that Pelita Air needs, we will provide through the BPVP,” he said.
Further, Cris explained that Pelita Air can project workforce requirements, both in terms of skill specifications and the number of HR needed, so they can be prepared by the BPVP or Employment Training Centres (BLK).
Regarding workforce placement, the collaboration is expected to create opportunities for BPVP/BLK graduates to enter the aviation industry labour market.
“We also have a Labour Market Centre unit and a KarirHub system. We hope Pelita Air can open recruitment through the KarirHub system,” said Cris.
In addition, the collaboration also covers industrial relations management and supervision of labour standards.
The collaboration is expected to create a conducive labour climate in the aviation industry, and ensure that labour standards are properly observed within the sector.
“We hope this collaboration runs productively and becomes an example of mutually beneficial collaboration implementation between government and the aviation industry in other sectors,” he said.
