The Ministry of Labor of Indonesia (Kemnaker) announced a partnership with GreatNusa, a venture launched by BINUS University, and Microsoft Indonesia to boost AI skills among the country's workforce. The collaboration was unveiled at the AI Career Boost Day 2026 event in Jakarta, where Minister Yassierli emphasized that “Transformasi digital tidak bisa kita hindari. Karena itu, kita harus memastikan tenaga kerja Indonesia memiliki kompetensi yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan industri.”
