prepared, the Foreign Workers Use Plan (RPTKA) will be issued. Once again, we stress that the
permit (for the workers' entry) was issued as there was a commitment (by the company) to
employ 5,000 local workers," she added.
In the midst of the impact felt in the employment sector due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the
minister said, she hoped the absorption of thousands of workers could be a solution to generate
more jobs.
She said the government is ensuring the foreign workers being brought in have certain skills,
are needed by the company, and would be in Indonesia for a certain period of time.
In addition, she also highlighted that there will be a transfer of knowledge from the foreign
workers to Indonesian workers, who will carry out operations once they have mastered the
technology.
