Tangerang, 12 July 2025 – As part of its ongoing commitment to empowering communities and expanding job opportunities in the construction sector, Habitat for Humanity Indonesia together with Habitat for Humanity Germany and supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development held a Construction Job Fair on Saturday, 12 July 2025, at Bale Kota Mall Tangerang. A second session will be held on Saturday, 19 July 2025, at the Tangerang Regency Manpower Office.
The job fair is open to the public, particularly targeting individuals seeking employment in construction-related roles such as builders, electricians, drafters, site engineers, welders, administrative staff, HSE officers, and more. Over a dozen national and local construction companies participated, including Pulauintan, Modernland, Sejasa.com, CK Helmer, GunasLand, and others.
This initiative follows a training and certification program implemented by Habitat for Humanity Indonesia throughout 2023–2024, which successfully certified 581 workers from low-income communities in Tangerang City and Tangerang Regency in various construction-related skills under national standards.

H. Maryono Hasan, AP., M.Si., Deputy Mayor of Tangerang, officially opened the event and expressed his appreciation for the collaboration between the government, businesses, and the public. “The construction sector is a key driver of development and a major source of employment. We hope this job fair will bridge the gap between industry needs and local workforce potential, helping to reduce the unemployment rate in Tangerang City,” he stated.
Rizal Zulkifli, BMZ Project Manager Strategic Alliance at Habitat for Humanity Indonesia, emphasized the importance of linking training programs with actual job placement. “This job fair is our concrete step to ensure that training alumni not only acquire certified skills but also gain direct access to employment opportunities. Our hope is that this event serves as a bridge between community skills and industry demands, ultimately creating sustainable social and economic impact,” he said.
Habitat for Humanity Indonesia remains committed to being part of long-term, sustainable solutions in urban development and community welfare. Through partnerships with local governments and the private sector, Habitat continues to build—not only homes, but also futures.
