Manpower Minister Yassierli emphasized the importance of updating vocational education to align with the rapidly changing labor market. He highlighted the impact of technological advancements such as artificial intelligence and industrial automation on job requirements, urging vocational institutions to focus on developing adaptive skills and practical competencies over traditional academic credentials. Yassierli noted that employers are increasingly prioritizing skills, portfolios, and work experience over formal degrees, and stressed the need for vocational education to reflect this shift. He specifically called for the Polytechnic of Employment (Polteknaker) to tailor curricula to industry needs and integrate creativity and innovation into student development. The minister outlined three essential qualities, core competencies, data-based social awareness, and innovation, that he believes will prepare graduates for future challenges and position Indonesia as a leader in vocational education.
