Manpower Ministry launches vocational training for East Nusa Tenggara quake survivors
The Ministry of Manpower announced a series of vocational courses aimed at helping residents of East Nusa Tenggara recover from the recent earthquake.
In response to the earthquake that struck East Nusa Tenggara, the Ministry of Manpower is rolling out a comprehensive training initiative. Sukro Muhab explained that 40 courses from the national vocational system are being offered alongside 38 locally customised programmes that match regional economic potentials. These courses are coordinated by Regional Technical Implementation Units spread throughout the affected districts.
The aim is to equip survivors with practical abilities that can be directly applied to employment or entrepreneurship. By aligning curricula with local demand, the ministry seeks to accelerate the province's economic recovery and reduce reliance on aid. Muhab expressed optimism that the effort will reach many communities and help restore livelihoods.
