Program Poliran Diapresiasi : Kolaborasi Kunci Tekan Pengangguran
Menteri Ketenagakerjaan (Menaker) Yassierli mengapresiasi inisiatif Kepolisian Republik Indonesia (Polri) atas peluncuran program Polisi Peduli Pengangguran (Poliran).
Menurut Yassierli, program ini menegaskan pentingnya kolaborasi lintas kementerian, lembaga, dan institusi dalam mengatasi permasalahan pengangguran di Indonesia.
Hal tersebut disampaikan Yassierli dalam peluncuran program Polisi Peduli Pengangguran (Poliran) yang diselenggarakan oleh Kepolisian Daerah Jawa Barat, di Bandung.
Dalam acara tersebut, Yassierli mengapresiasi inisiatif program Poliran yang dinilainya berkontribusi nyata mendukung pembentukan ekosistem ketenagakerjaan yang solid dan inklusif.
Ia mengungkapkan, upaya mengatasi pengangguran membutuhkan keterlibatan berbagai pihak agar penciptaan lapangan kerja dapat berjalan lebih optimal.
“Suatu kebahagiaan bagi Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan, ekosistem ketenagakerjaan memang harus dibangun melalui kolaborasi, dan Alhamdulillah institusi Polri ikut dalam bagian kolaborasi itu untuk mewujudkan ketenagakerjaan yang lebih baik,” ujar Yassierli.
Yassierli menyebutkan bahwa kolaborasi lintas kementerian, lembaga, dan berbagai institusi turut mendukung penurunan tingkat pengangguran terbuka (TPT) dalam dua tahun terakhir.
Berdasarkan data Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS), TPT tercatat sebesar 4,91 persen pada Agustus 2024, kemudian turun menjadi 4,85 persen pada Agustus 2025, dan kembali menurun menjadi 4,75 persen pada Agustus 2026.
Ia juga menekankan pentingnya peningkatan kompetensi tenaga kerja agar mampu memenuhi kebutuhan industri yang terus berkembang.
Menurutnya, dunia industri membutuhkan tenaga kerja yang memiliki keterampilan dan sertifikasi kompetensi sesuai dengan bidang pekerjaan.
Bagi para lulusan SMA, SMK, hingga perguruan tinggi juga diharapkan dapat terus mengasah kompetensi agar memiliki peluang lebih besar memasuki pasar kerja.
Dalam hal ini, Kemnaker telah menyiapkan berbagai program pelatihan vokasi untuk membantu meningkatkan keterampilan angkatan kerja.
Atas kehadiran program ini, Yassierli berharap para pencari kerja memperoleh kesempatan memasuki pasar kerja tanpa diskriminasi.
Ia meminta perusahaan, agar menerapkan persyaratan rekrutmen yang relevan dengan kebutuhan pekerjaan dan berfokus pada kompetensi calon tenaga kerja.
“Semoga program Polisi Peduli Pengangguran dapat hadir bersama kita semua membangun ekosistem ketenagakerjaan yang lebih baik ke depan,” kata Yassierli.
Dalam kesempatan tersebut, Kepala Kepolisian Republik Indonesia (Kapolri) Jenderal Pol. Suyudi Ario Seto menyatakan bahwa Poliran merupakan bagian dari transformasi pendekatan kepolisian dalam pencegahan kerawanan sosial melalui pemberdayaan masyarakat.
Dengan membuka akses terhadap pekerjaan, Polri berupaya membantu meningkatkan kesejahteraan sekaligus mengurangi faktor kerawanan sosial.
“Sejalan dengan program prioritas pemerintah dalam memperluas lapangan pekerjaan, kami hadir untuk membuka akses dan mempertemukan warga dengan peluang yang tersedia. Semangat inilah yang melahirkan Poliran,” ujar Suyudi. ***rel
