**Government Strategically Aligns Job Openings with Worker Migration Goals**
Malang, East Java – The Ministry for the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (P2MI) is taking a strategic approach to map job opportunities in line with their target of sending 425 thousand Indonesian migrant workers overseas this year. Minister Abdul Kadir Karding highlighted the importance of this mapping process to match job opportunities with the skills and backgrounds of prospective migrant workers.
Mapping Job Opportunities and Potential Countries
Minister Karding emphasized the significance of mapping job opportunities and identifying potential countries where Indonesian migrant workers could be sent. This strategic mapping approach ensures that the workforce is aligned with the demands of the international market. By understanding the availability of prospective migrant workers from various backgrounds, the government can effectively plan and coordinate the deployment of workers abroad.
Capacity Building and Collaboration
To enhance the capacity and capability of prospective migrant workers, several ministries will collaborate to provide training and support. Minister Karding highlighted the importance of working together with training institutions and private sector investment to improve the skills of Indonesian workers. By developing the workforce’s skills, the government aims to reduce unemployment rates and poverty levels in Indonesia.
Regulation and Compliance
In addition to mapping job opportunities and capacity building, the government is also focusing on regulating distribution agents involved in sending migrant workers abroad. Minister Karding emphasized the need for licensed agencies to comply with government regulations and warned of strict consequences for any violations. This regulatory framework aims to ensure the protection and welfare of Indonesian workers overseas.
Boosting Economic Growth
The target of sending 425 thousand Indonesian migrant workers abroad this year is not just about meeting workforce demands but also about boosting Indonesia’s economic growth. Minister Karding highlighted that the remittances sent back by these workers contribute significantly to the country’s foreign exchange earnings. By strategically aligning job openings with worker migration goals, the government aims to promote economic stability and growth.
As a child, Minister Abdul Kadir Karding witnessed the struggles of migrant workers in his community, which fueled his passion for protecting their rights and ensuring their well-being. This personal connection drives his commitment to creating opportunities for Indonesian workers abroad and advocating for their rights on the international stage.
