Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Indonesia’s Environment Ministry and Manpower Ministry are working together to train air conditioning technicians across the country, from Aceh to Sorong, Papua.
Hidayat, a ministry official, explained at a World Ozone Day event in Bekasi, West Java, that skilled technicians maintain energy efficiency and prevent refrigerant leaks. This training creates green employment opportunities and boosts household incomes for Indonesian workers. The two ministries have collaborated since 2017 to promote environmentally conscious economic growth.
They recently delivered 99 units of training equipment to 14 Vocational Training and Productivity Centers. Authorities are developing technicians’ skills to meet the growing demand for cooling equipment in Indonesia. This effort supports Indonesia’s National Work Competency Standards and its goal to reduce hydrofluorocarbon gases by 2045, minimizing atmospheric damage. The initiative aligns with President Prabowo Subianto’s Asta Cita priorities.
