Indonesia launches initiatives to boost global workforce readiness

Indonesia is implementing several initiatives to enhance workforce readiness and prepare citizens for the global job market. DHL Group is strengthening youth employability through its GoTeach and UPGRADE programs, which provide mentorship and career insights to help young people navigate changing industry needs caused by digital transformation.

Additionally, the Ministry of Migrant Workers Protection (KP2MI) has launched the first phase of registration for the Asta Mandala SMK Go Global training program. This government initiative, following directives from President Prabowo Subianto, aims to prepare 500,000 prospective migrant workers—including 300,000 vocational school graduates—by providing technical skills, language training, and cultural understanding to meet international labor demands.
