A new 35,000 MW power-station project has attracted a number of foreign investors to the country, many of whom, it is believed, will also be contributing expert personnel to the project. The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (“ESDM”) has pledged to take the necessary precautions, through the Directorate General of Electricity, by preparing an Information System and Electrical Technician Certificate (“SKTTK”).
This certificate will function as an information and data center that lists competent technicians, and will be certified by an accredited or appointed Certification of Competency Institute (“LSK”).
“There are many foreign investors here and such investors normally bring in their own people when a large-scale project gets underway, however not all of these workers are necessarily competent. If we don’t act firmly with regard to this matter, then this could place Indonesia at a disadvantage, as such poorly qualified workers will not only be filling strategic positions but also lower-level jobs,” explained Mr. Jarman, the Director General of Electricity for ESDM, in Jakarta on Friday (4/9).
Mr. Jarman believes, however, that the vast majority of foreign workers will already be in possession of competence certification from their home countries, which can later on be harmonized or equalized according to the various competency provisions that apply in Indonesia. The Directorate General of Electricity will be conducting this harmonization process with the aid of five accredited competency assessment institutions over a period of at least three months.
“We want to ensure that we have high-quality foreign workers working here. Therefore, we will set up a certification and data system for the Ministry of Employment in order to help us in the verification of foreign-worker credentials. Foreign workers will be able to register online through this information system, and the whole process should take less than a day to complete,” explained Mr. Jarman.
Mr. Jarman also added that the new information system will be able to be accessed by the public. Manual registration will be available until 1 January 2016, and then after that, all registrations will then be completed online. Foreign workers who have not registered under the new system will not be able to work in Indonesia. To date, 31,500 competent workers have already filed registrations relating to the power-plant project.
Yasonna H Laoly, Minister of Law and Human Rights, has admitted that a vast number of foreign workers have already entered Indonesia, and that this is proving problematic. The Minister has also urged that these matters be dealt with comprehensively, and believes that intensive and strict supervision is required in order to prevent huge numbers of foreign workers from entering the job market here.
Minister Laoly further added that cooperation between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the police and the State Intelligence Agency was deemed necessary for security reasons.
“Policy designed for the supervision of these foreign workers should be promptly formulated and implemented,” demanded Minister Laoly at a recent House Commission III meeting.
