Habitat for Humanity Indonesia collaborated with the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development of the Federal Republic of Germany to conduct SKK (Work Competency Certification) and K3 (Occupational Safety and Health) training in Tangerang, Banten, in March 2024. This program trained and certified 240 construction workers to improve economic opportunities and the quality of life for low-income families in the Banten Province.
According to 2018 data from BPS, out of 8.3 million construction workers, only 7.4% are certified. “The number of certified construction workers in Indonesia is still low. This training supports the government in producing skilled and better-trained workers, and is expected to increase their income,” said Susanto, National Director of Habitat for Humanity Indonesia.
The 10-day training program adheres to the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards (SKKNI) in the Construction Sector and has previously trained 210 workers out of the 600 workers planned to be trained by 2025.
Habitat Indonesia expresses its gratitude to PT Mowilex Indonesia, PT Wavin Indonesia, PT Tata Metal Lestari & PT Tatalogam Lestari, PT Mortar Utama (Saint-Gobain), and PT Etex Building Performance Indonesia for their support in providing trainers and financial and material assistance for this training.
This partnership is tangible proof of cross-sector collaboration in enhancing the skills and quality of life of the community and helping low-income workers achieve financial independence.
