JAYAPURA - Untuk menekan angka pengangguran di Provinsi Papua, Dinas Tenaga Kerja, Koperasi, dan Usaha Kecil Menengah (UKM) Provinsi Papua melakukan berbagai upaya melalui program pelatihan keterampilan bagi pencari kerja.
Pelatihan tersebut bertujuan meningkatkan kompetensi serta memenuhi kebutuhan tenaga kerja di dunia usaha dan industri.
“Perusahaan membutuhkan tenaga kerja yang kompeten dan memiliki sertifikasi. Karena itu, kami memberikan pelatihan agar pencari kerja memiliki keahlian yang sesuai,” kata Kepala Bidang Penempatan dan Pelatihan, Fransiska H. Rerey.
Ia mengatakan, pelaksanaan program pelatihan masih menghadapi kendala keterbatasan anggaran. Meski begitu, Dinas Tenaga Kerja tetap berupaya menjangkau sebanyak mungkin masyarakat melalui pelatihan yang tersedia.
Selain pelatihan, masyarakat juga didorong untuk mengembangkan usaha mandiri sebagai alternatif penciptaan lapangan kerja. Melalui Balai Latihan Kerja (BLK), peserta tidak hanya dibekali keterampilan, tetapi juga diarahkan untuk membuka usaha sendiri.
“Contohnya pelatihan otomotif. Setelah lulus, peserta bisa membuka bengkel dan menyerap tenaga kerja. Ini penting karena tidak semua perusahaan membuka lowongan pekerjaan setiap saat,” tutupnya. ***
JAYAPURA – In an effort to reduce unemployment in Papua Province, the Papua Provincial Office of Manpower, Cooperatives, and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is carrying out various initiatives through skills training programs for job seekers.
The training aims to improve competence and meet labor needs in the business and industrial sectors.
"Companies need workers who are competent and certified. That is why we provide training so that job seekers have skills that match those needs," said Fransiska H. Rerey, Head of Placement and Training.
She said that the implementation of the training program still faces budget limitations. Even so, the Manpower Office continues to make efforts to reach as many people as possible through the available training programs.
In addition to training, the public is also encouraged to develop independent businesses as an alternative for job creation. Through the Job Training Center, participants are not only equipped with skills, but are also encouraged to start their own businesses.
"For example, in automotive training, after graduating, participants can open a repair shop and employ workers. This is important because not all companies open job vacancies all the time," she concluded. ***
