Jakarta - The Ministry of
Manpower and Japan's Miyagi prefectural government have recently joined hands
to accelerate the placement of Indonesian technical interns, specified skilled
workers (SSW), and technicians in Japan.
The collaboration was
solidified through the signing of a memorandum of cooperation (MoC) between the
Secretary-General of the Manpower Ministry, Anwar Sanusi, and the Governor of
Miyagi prefecture, Yoshihiro Murai, which took place on Friday. The signing
ceremony was graced by the presence of Indonesian Manpower Minister Ida
Fauziyah.
"Hopefully, the
implementation of this MoC will be both effective and efficient," stated
Fauziyah, expressing her optimism about the agreement.
During her tenure, Minister
Fauziyah also had the opportunity to meet Japan's Minister of Health, Labor,
and Welfare, Katsunobu Kato, during the G20 Presidency meeting in India. The
two leaders had mutually agreed to strengthen bilateral relations between their
respective countries.
"This MoC signing is a
significant step in our efforts to bolster the ties between Indonesia and
Japan," she added.
It's worth noting that
earlier, Minister Fauziyah had extended an invitation to Indonesians seeking
employment opportunities in Japan, encouraging them to avail themselves of the
private-to-private (p-to-p) placement scheme.
Under this scheme, qualified
Indonesians can secure positions as specified skilled workers (SSW) in Japan, a
program that has been active since March 2023.
The Ministry of Manpower is
committed to actively promoting the placement of SSW for Indonesian migrant
workers, collaborating closely with all relevant stakeholders.
Regarding placement costs,
Fauziyah clarified that the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Agency
(BP2MI) has already regulated these matters through a decree.
This cooperative initiative
for Indonesian migrant worker placement involves the Indonesian Migrant Worker
Placement Company (P3MI) and the Japanese Employment Placement Service Provider
(JEPSP), she explained.
The p-to-p scheme primarily
aims to meet the labor requirements of Japanese employers while fulfilling the
demands of the Japanese Accepting Organization (JAO).
Fauziyah also highlighted that
working in Japan provides an excellent opportunity for Indonesian workers,
given the country's regulations that prioritize protecting foreign workers.
With the signing of this
cooperation agreement, prospects for Indonesian technical interns and skilled
workers seeking opportunities in Japan have taken a positive stride forward.
The partnership between Indonesia and Japan marks a pivotal moment in
strengthening their relationship and fostering mutually beneficial outcomes for
both nations.
