Sumarni Yassierli Urges Employers to Create More Job Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities
Sumarni Yassierli, Advisor to the Dharma Wanita Persatuan (DWP) of the Ministry of Manpower, has called on employers to open up more job opportunities for persons with disabilities, including those who are visually impaired.
This appeal was made during her visit to the Rumah Aspirasi Tunanetra Indonesia (Indonesian Visually Impaired Aspirations Center) in Jakarta. During the visit, Sumarni and her delegation observed firsthand the practices for empowering and placing workers with disabilities, and listened to the personal experiences of these individuals in the workplace.

Sumarni urged employers to take three key actions: create more space for persons with disabilities, implement necessary workplace adjustments, and provide equal opportunities for professional growth.
“We want to build a labor landscape that does not define individuals by their limitations, but rather by their competence, passion, and the contributions they can offer,” said Sumarni.
According to Sumarni, this visit demonstrates that persons with disabilities are capable of producing competitive work when provided with the right skills and opportunities.
She emphasized that an inclusive work ecosystem can only be established through cross-sector collaboration, which includes the active involvement of the business community and society at large.

Sumarni Yassierli Ajak Pemberi Kerja Buka Lebih Banyak Peluang Kerja bagi Penyandang Disabilitas
Penasihat Dharma Wanita Persatuan (DWP) Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan (Kemnaker) Sumarni Yassierli mengajak pemberi kerja membuka lebih banyak kesempatan kerja bagi penyandang disabilitas, termasuk tunanetra.
Ajakan itu disampaikan saat Sumarni mengunjungi Rumah Aspirasi Tunanetra Indonesia di Jakarta. Dalam kunjungan tersebut, Sumarni beserta rombongan melihat langsung praktik pemberdayaan dan penempatan tenaga kerja penyandang disabilitas, serta mendengar pengalaman para pekerja dalam berkarya.
Kepada pemberi kerja, Sumarni meminta tiga hal, yaitu membuka lebih banyak ruang bagi penyandang disabilitas, melakukan penyesuaian yang diperlukan di tempat kerja, dan memberi kesempatan yang sama untuk berkembang.
“Kita ingin membangun dunia ketenagakerjaan yang tidak melihat seseorang dari keterbatasannya, tetapi dari kompetensi, semangat, dan kontribusi yang dapat diberikannya,” ujar Sumarni.
Menurut Sumarni, kunjungan ini menunjukkan bahwa penyandang disabilitas mampu menghasilkan karya berdaya saing jika diberi keterampilan dan kesempatan.
Ia menilai ekosistem kerja inklusif hanya dapat terbentuk melalui kolaborasi lintas sektor, termasuk keterlibatan aktif dunia usaha dan masyarakat.
Sumarni menyampaikan bahwa Kemnaker akan melanjutkan program penempatan tenaga kerja khusus, memperluas akses pelatihan dan informasi pasar kerja, serta mendorong penambahan lapangan kerja inklusif.
“Saya berharap kunjungan ini tidak berhenti pada pertemuan hari ini. Mari kita jadikan momentum ini sebagai awal dari kerja sama yang lebih kuat, lebih nyata, dan berkelanjutan,” ujarnya. ***rel
