Minister Mukhtarudin and the Indonesian Police are collaborating to create a special unit focused on assisting Indonesian migrant workers.
The Ministry for the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers prioritised preventing illegal departures and reducing the potential for human trafficking. They aim to give people accurate information about job opportunities and provide training before they leave Indonesia. Mukhtarudin explained that the government wants to track migrant workers’ locations, skills, and needs to deliver targeted support.
He stated that successful migrant worker protection means ensuring workers are safe, receive fair treatment, and can improve their families’ lives. The government is also working to increase the number of skilled Indonesian workers available for international jobs. The Vocational High School Go Global program will improve students’ vocational skills, language abilities, and professional habits to prepare them for better employment opportunities.
This program aims to move Indonesian workers away from primarily low-skilled jobs toward more semi-skilled and highly skilled professions.
