GOVT PLANS TO BUILD 787 WORK TRAINING CENTERS FOR COMMUNITIES
The Ministry of Manpower will expand the network of Community Work Training Centers (BLK)
by building 787 BLKs across Indonesia this year, Minister Ida Fauziyah has said.

"From 2017, we have been trying to bring services closer to the community," she remarked at
the signing of the working agreement on the Community BLK in 2021, here on Thursday.

According to Fauziyah, the ministry already has BLK managed by the central and local
government, but she insisted that there is a need to bring the services closer to the community.

Launched in 2017, Community BLKs are a breakthrough initiative by President Joko Widodo.

In 2020, the ministry has established 2,127 BLKs for communities spread across many regions
of Indonesia, Fauziyah said. This year, the ministry is targeting to establish 787 BLKs, she added.

Also, the ministry has signed a working agreement with the first phase Community BLK this year,
she informed.

Under the agreement, 520 BLKs will receive government assistance and 267 BLKs will be provided
aid in the second phase, she said.

"In 2021, we have invited as many strategic partners as possible because we want BLKs that we
build to become independent centers that are part of the competency improvement implemented
by the Manpower Ministry," Fauziyah said.

Communities that have cooperated with the ministry are religious-based communities, such as
Islamic boarding schools (Pesantren) and seminaries, she informed.
