The Head of the Tangerang Regency Manpower Office, Rudi Lesmana, also attended the event and expressed his appreciation for Habitat’s initiative. “Thank you to Habitat, we greatly appreciate this collaboration because it provides real opportunities for our community to get decent jobs.

Our hope is that activities like this can continue and become a concrete solution for increasing labor absorption in the region,” he said.
Meanwhile, Rizal Zulkifli, BMZ Project Manager for Strategic Alliance at Habitat for Humanity Indonesia, explained that this job fair serves as a bridge between training graduates and industry needs. “We want to ensure that training alumni not only have skills but also direct access to job opportunities. Our hope is that the BNSP certificates they have obtained can be an entry point to more stable employment, thereby strengthening their family economies,” he stated.
Habitat for Humanity Indonesia believes that inclusive development begins with community empowerment. Through cross-sector collaboration, Habitat continues to create space for citizens to grow, work, and contribute to a more dignified future.
