JAYAPURA – Pemerintah Provinsi Papua melalui Dinas Tenaga Kerja, Koperasi, UKM dan Transmigrasi akan menggelar Job Fair 2026 selama dua hari pada 12-13 Mei 2026 di Aula Sasana Krida Kantor Gubernur Papua.
Plt Kepala Dinas Tenaga Kerja Papua Jimmy A.Y. Thesia mengatakan penyelenggaraan Job Fair menjadi bagian dari upaya pemerintah untuk mempertemukan pencari kerja dengan perusahaan dan dunia usaha yang membutuhkan tenaga kerja.
“Kami menyadari lapangan pekerjaan yang tersedia belum sebanding dengan jumlah angkatan kerja yang ada. Tetapi minimal ada hal-hal yang bisa kita urai dari angkatan kerja yang sampai hari ini belum bekerja,” ujarnya, Jumat (8/5/2026).
Ia menjelaskan, lowongan kerja yang tersedia berasal dari berbagai sektor, antara lain perbankan, pariwisata, perhotelan, serta perusahaan BUMN dan BUMD.
Sebanyak 40 perusahaan dijadwalkan berpartisipasi dalam Job Fair tersebut dengan menyediakan berbagai peluang kerja sesuai kebutuhan masing-masing perusahaan.
Jimmy menambahkan, Pemerintah Provinsi Papua terus mendorong terciptanya iklim investasi dan pengembangan industri di Papua sebagai langkah strategis meningkatkan penyerapan tenaga kerja secara lebih luas dan berkelanjutan.
“Yang paling penting sebenarnya bagaimana ada industri di Papua. Kalau ada industri maka penyerapan tenaga kerja akan semakin besar,” katanya.
Pemerintah Provinsi Papua berharap pelaksanaan Job Fair dapat membantu masyarakat memperoleh akses informasi lowongan kerja sekaligus menjadi wadah memperkuat kolaborasi antara pemerintah dan dunia usaha dalam mendukung pembangunan ketenagakerjaan di Papua. ***
JAYAPURA – The Papua Provincial Government, through the Department of Manpower, Cooperatives, SMEs, and Transmigration, will hold Job Fair 2026 for two days on May 12–13, 2026, at Sasana Krida Hall, Papua Governor's Office.
Acting Head of the Papua Manpower Office Jimmy A.Y. Thesia said that the Job Fair is part of the government's effort to connect job seekers with companies and businesses in need of workers.
"We realize that the available job opportunities are still not proportional to the size of the workforce. But at least there are issues we can help address regarding the workforce that remains unemployed today," he said on Friday (May 8, 2026).
He explained that the available job vacancies come from various sectors, including banking, tourism, hospitality, as well as state-owned and regionally owned enterprises.
A total of 40 companies are scheduled to participate in the Job Fair by offering various employment opportunities according to each company's needs.
Jimmy added that the Papua Provincial Government continues to encourage the creation of an investment-friendly climate and industrial development in Papua as a strategic step to increase employment absorption more broadly and sustainably.
"The most important thing is actually how industries can grow in Papua. If there are industries, employment absorption will become much greater," he said.
The Papua Provincial Government hopes that the Job Fair will help the public gain access to job vacancy information while also serving as a platform to strengthen collaboration between the government and the business sector in supporting employment development in Papua. ***
