Indonesia will promote community-based vocational training through the establishment of Community Work Training Centers (BLK) at the G20 forum, Secretary General of the Manpower Ministry Anwar Sanusi has said.
"We will encourage community-based vocational training, such as the Community Work Training Center. We want to convey to G20 member countries that we are using a community-based approach," Sanusi informed before the G20 Employment Working Group (EWG) meeting here on Wednesday.
People were earlier more familiar with vocational training based on private and government collaboration, he noted. However, currently, Indonesia is also encouraging community-based vocational training through collaboration with the government, he said.
With community-based vocational training, people can become involved in and contribute to improving the competence of human resources, he said.

Sanusi said Indonesia will introduce the concept of Community Work Training Centers, which have been running in the country, at the G20 Employment Working Group (EWG) forum.
"At the offline event, we will also show a number of Community Training Centers managed by the community and how they run the program. Hopefully, it will become a model that can be a reference for G20 countries," he added.
Indonesia held the first EWG meeting in Jakarta from March 8–10, 2022. The meeting was part of a series of five meetings to be held in 2022.
The second EWG will be held in Yogyakarta in May, the third EWG in Geneva in June, the fourth EWG in Bali in September. The meeting will conclude with the Labor and Employment Ministers Meeting (LEMM) in Bali in September.
