To enhance the quality of human resources in the textile and textile product industry, the Ministry of Industry in Indonesia plans to organise 3-in-1 training programs, informs AgusGumiwangKartasasmita, Industry Minister.
To be organisedthrough the Industrial Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDMI), the program aims to provide training, certification, and job placements in the industry.
Focused on sewing operator training, one of the 3-in-1 training programswill be conducted in collaboration with PT Globalindo Intimates, a women's innerwear manufacturer that operates a 32,000-sq-m facility and employs up to 3,600 workers, Masrokhan, Head, BPSDMI, points out.
The program would meet the domestic human resource needs of the textile industry, thereby increasing its contribution to the growth of foreign exchange, hopes Masrokhan
The textile and textile product industry in Indonesia contributed 5.84 percent to the GDP of the manufacturing sector and generated US$11.6 billion in national exports, with a surplus of $3.2 billion. The industry employed over 3.98 million workers, accounting for 19.47 percent of the total manufacturing workforce in 2023.
