Indonesia-Japan technical internship cooperation

Overview

Indonesia and Japan have expanded cooperation regarding technical internship programs and workforce development. The Indonesian Ministry of Manpower established a Memorandum of Cooperation with Japan’s Yamaguchi Prefecture to increase participant placement and improve protection mechanisms. This initiative is intended to align with Japan’s upcoming Employment for Skill Development policy scheduled for early 2027.

To support these efforts, vocational training centers in Indonesia, such as the BPVP in Banyuwangi, are focusing on enhancing technical competency and foreign language skills. These programs prepare workers for various sectors, including tourism, welding, and agriculture, specifically to facilitate successful adaptation to the Japanese work environment.
