Global
ICT provider Huawei today signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the
Ministry of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia as the nation builds the
foundation for the digital future. Simultaneously, the MoU will oversee the
implementation of two strategic collaboration agreements with the Directorate
General of Vocational Training and Development, Ministry of Manpower, and the
Directorate General of Supervision & Development for Occupational Safety
and Health, Ministry of Manpower.
Present
to witness the MoU were Dr. Ida Fauziyah,
M.Si, Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia and Jacky Chen, CEO of
Huawei Indonesia. The MoU was signed by Ken Qi, Vice President, Director of the Board, Huawei Indonesia,
and Anwar Sanusi, Ph.D., Secretary-General
of the Ministry of Manpower. On the other hand, the strategic collaboration
agreement on training was signed by Lai
Chaosen, Vice President of Delivery & Services, Huawei Indonesia, and Budi Hartawan, S.E., M.A., Director General
of Vocational Training and Productivity Development, Ministry of Manpower,
while the strategic collaboration agreement on workplace safety was signed by Lai Chaosen, Vice President of Delivery
& Services, Huawei Indonesia, and Hery Sutanto,
S.T., M.M, Director of OSH Institutional Development,
Ministry of Manpower.
The
Memorandum of Understanding between Huawei and the Ministry of Manpower
comprises three key areas, broadening Huawei’s collaboration with the Ministry:
improvement of human resources through vocational training and certification; training
of trainers; and implementation of human resources development and training for
working at height, and occupational safety as well as health.
The MoU comes at a critical point in time as
Indonesia anticipates the future of work. Already the world is progressing
rapidly towards utilizing sophisticated digital technologies such as 5G, AI,
machine learning, IoT, and big data analytics. Before they can be implemented,
these technologies depend on the installation of wireless and microwave
networks, as well as other fieldwork, that necessitate the constant supply of
skilled field workers equipped with the right practical knowledge and know-how.
Expanding
upon the MoU, together with the Directorate General of Vocational Training and
Development, Huawei is developing a series of training of trainers (TOTs)
programs to ensure a consistent passing-down of knowledge and skills,
accompanied by industry-standard competency certifications. Huawei is also
looking to develop a syllabus for national competency together with the
Directorate General, for the purpose of generating the link-and-match between
educational results and industry demands.
Furthermore,
emboldened by Huawei’s track record of maintaining zero workplace accidents
together with the Directorate General of Supervision & Development for
Occupational Safety and Health in the past few years, both parties are looking
to jointly develop new guidelines and better coordination for workplace safety,
specifically concerning work at heights.
“As
Minister of Manpower, I would like to thank Huawei Indonesia for having
absorbed 2000 Indonesia workforces; helping tackle COVID-19 pandemic and
playing a role to bring Indonesia closer and connected,” Dr. Ida Fauziyah, M.Si, Minister of Manpower of the Republic of
Indonesia, lauded “In particular, we would like to extend high appreciation
to this MoU. We need contribution from all stakeholders and Huawei has proved
itself to engage to work together in building Indonesia’s manpower through
efforts to upgrade competence and digital literacy that is important to prepare
workforces ready to anticipate Industry 4.0.”
According
to Minister Ida, the MoU emphasis on giving training to trainers is crucial to
raise competency of the trainees and ensure practical skills and knowledge
being passed down to next generations. In addition, the cooperation and special
competency related to occupational safety and healt (OSH) is also critical to
guarantee safety for those working at the high-risk work environments.
Jacky
Chen, CEO, Huawei Indonesia
said,“As a technology leader of ICT infrastructure
and green energy, Huawei will keep investing in Indonesia’s local ICT talent
development to boost digital transformation. Our MOU is expected to accelerate
the achievement of the government's target to nurture 9 million digital human
resources in Indonesia by 2030. The talents benefited from our MOU will be the
backbone of Indonesia’s digital future,”
Jacky asserted
Meanwhile,
Lai Chaosen, Vice President of Delivery & Services, Huawei Indonesia, said,”Huawei developed work safety system
based on AI technology and rigorous workplace safety and health procedures,
which can monitor workers’ on-site compliance towards health protocols such as
wearing masks, protective clothing and eyewear, helmets, and other
requirements. Together with the Ministry of Manpower, Huawei is bringing the
future of work to Indonesia.”
Huawei
has been working together with the Ministry of Manpower to develop telecom
human resources. Having signed the cooperation agreements in 2018 with the
ministry’s PNK3 and in 2019 with the ministry’s Binalatas, respectively, Huawei
helped enhance collaboration in online learnings and on-site training. More
than 3,000 trainees have benefited from the program in the past four years.
