Sukro Muhab, Special Advisor to the Minister of Manpower, stated that this training support is reaching communities across various regions of NTT province.
“Kemnaker is here to assist communities affected by the disaster by improving their competencies and skills. With the necessary skills, communities are expected to be able to return to work or start their own businesses,” Sukro said in a press release issued by the Ministry of Manpower’s Public Relations Bureau on Thursday, October 8, 2026.
This support is currently being implemented through the National Vocational Training Program (PVN), comprising 40 training packages distributed among all supervised Technical Implementation Units (UPTD) across the districts of NTT province.
In addition to the PVN, the Ministry of Manpower also offers Tailored Training (TMT) programs, designed based on community needs and regional potential. To date, 38 TMT packages have been distributed throughout NTT province.

According to Sukro, the TMT approach makes it possible to tailor training to local community conditions, making it easier to put the skills acquired into practice after the training is completed.
“Training does not stop at skill development. It is important that these skills are relevant to the community’s needs and the region’s potential, so that they can be utilized for employment or starting a business,” Sukro stated.
Through these various training programs, the Ministry of Labour hopes to provide communities with the capital needed to recover, become productive, and regain economic independence. ***rel
