The Ministry of Labour (Kemnaker) is driving the transformation of the Vocational and Productivity Training Centre (BPVP) to ensure that training programs better align with the needs of business and industry.

This initiative aims to boost graduates’ chances of entering the workforce, targeting a 70% employment rate for graduates of national vocational training programs.

Minister of Labour Yassierli stated that the BPVP should be managed as a high-quality training centre featuring a strong learning culture and an integrated alumni network.

In this way, vocational training is intended to deliver tangible benefits to the community and better meet labour market demands.

“We need to explore how these training centres can serve the community as broadly as possible. Through the transformation of national vocational training, we are increasing access and improving quality to address current labour market challenges,” said Yassierli during a working visit to the BPVP in West Bandung, West Java, on Friday, October 9, 2026.

To monitor training outcomes, the Ministry of Labour will conduct a follow-up survey no later than two months after the completion of the training. This mechanism is used to track the career paths of alumni as part of the evaluation of training results.

The Ministry of Labour is also promoting a training model that involves the business community, local authorities, industrial estates, and state-owned enterprises.

Through a demand-driven approach, participants receive training at centers aligned with the needs of the business sector, thereby increasing their post-training employment prospects.

In addition to training a workforce that meets business needs, the BPVP has been tasked with expanding its services to include training for people with disabilities, labor productivity clinics for medium-sized enterprises, and a Talent & Innovation Hub serving as an innovation center.

“It is not just about vocational training; each center will feature a Talent & Innovation Hub, complete with job placement services for people with disabilities and a productivity clinic,” said Yassierli. ***rel

Kemnaker Transformasi BPVP demi Lulusan Vokasi Siap Kerja, Target 70 Persen Terserap Industri

Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan (Kemnaker) mendorong transformasi Balai Pelatihan Vokasi dan Produktivitas (BPVP) agar pelatihan semakin sesuai dengan kebutuhan dunia usaha dan dunia industri.

Upaya ini diarahkan untuk meningkatkan peluang lulusan memasuki dunia kerja, dengan target tingkat kebekerjaan lulusan pelatihan vokasi nasional mencapai 70 persen.

Menteri Ketenagakerjaan Yassierli mengatakan, BPVP perlu dikelola sebagai pusat pelatihan berstandar tinggi yang memiliki budaya belajar kuat dan jaringan alumni terintegrasi.

Dengan demikian, pelatihan vokasi diharapkan memberikan manfaat nyata bagi masyarakat dan lebih responsif terhadap kebutuhan pasar kerja.

“Kita harus mengejar bagaimana balai-balai pelatihan ini bisa memberikan kemanfaatan yang seluas-luasnya bagi masyarakat. Melalui transformasi pelatihan vokasi nasional, kita memperluas akses dan meningkatkan kualitas agar mampu menjawab tantangan ketenagakerjaan saat ini,” ujar Yassierli saat memberikan arahan dalam kunjungan kerja di BPVP Bandung Barat, Jawa Barat, Jumat, 9 Oktober 2026.

Untuk memantau hasil pelatihan, Kemnaker akan menerapkan tracer study paling lambat dua bulan setelah pelatihan selesai. Mekanisme ini digunakan untuk menelusuri rekam jejak alumni di pasar kerja sebagai bagian dari evaluasi hasil pelatihan.

Kemnaker juga mendorong model pelatihan yang melibatkan industri, pemerintah daerah, kawasan industri, hingga badan usaha milik negara (BUMN).

Melalui pendekatan Demand Driven, peserta mendapatkan pelatihan di balai yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan industri sehingga dapat meningkatkan peluang kebekerjaaan pasca pelatihan.

Selain menyiapkan tenaga kerja sesuai kebutuhan industri, BPVP diarahkan untuk memperluas layanan melalui pelatihan bagi penyandang disabilitas, Labor Productivity Clinics bagi industri menengah, serta Talent & Innovation Hub sebagai pusat inovasi.

“Jadi tidak hanya vokasi, di setiap balai nantinya akan ada Talent Innovation Hub, lengkap dengan pengantar kerja bagi disabilitas dan klinik produktivitas,” tutur Yassierli. ***rel
