Dr. Arizona Mustikarini explained that the visit to the Pre-Employment Card Office is expected to provide the AUN-BE delegates with an overview of the Indonesian government’s efforts to address unemployment, including the Pre-Employment Card Program.
Cahyo Pribadi, the Director of Monitoring and Evaluation of the Pre-Employment Card Program, welcomed the AUN-BE delegation. In his speech, Cahyo explained the background of the Pre-Employment Card Program’s formation and the complexities of the Pre-Employment Site Developer.
Cahyo also revealed that the government also launched the Pre-Employment Card website to facilitate access for people who will participate in training. The dissemination of information through the digital platform is considered more effective in reaching the broader community than smartphone applications, which are inaccessible in some parts of Indonesia.
As you know, the Pre-Employment Card program is one of the government’s flagship programs. The Pre-Employment Card Program was launched in March 2020, and the first registration phase began in April 2020. The program aims to increase workforce competence through hard skills, soft skills, and entrepreneurship training. Improving workforce competencies is done through online and offline training methods to develop the skills of the community, especially job seekers, according to the needs of the labor market. The Pre-Employment Card program connects job seekers with job portals and training institutions to reduce the skills gap in the labor market.
