IDDeputy Minister of Migrant Workers Protection Dzulfikar Ahmad Tawalla urged Indonesian universities to establish Migrant Centers aimed at preparing qualified migrant workers to meet the demand for formal labor abroad. Speaking during the inauguration of a new Migrant Center at Muhammadiyah University of Surabaya (Umsura), Tawalla highlighted that approximately 23 universities were involved in discussions about developing such facilities. He noted that several state and private institutions already had similar centers, with around eight campuses having comparable setups. The initiative includes collaboration with secondary schools, particularly senior high schools (SMA) and vocational high schools (SMK), to recruit participants. The program targets graduates of Diploma-3 (D3) and Bachelor’s degree (S1) programs seeking pre-employment training. Training focuses on skills like caregiving, nursing, construction, and languages such as English, Mandarin, Japanese, and German.
