The General Secretary of Indonesian Ministry of Industry, Haris Munandar,
expressed his gratitude and appreciation to PT Petrokimia Gresik (PG) who had
successfully conducted the Diploma 1 Industrial Vocational Education Program.
According to him, the implementation of this program is a form of PG's real
support to the Government in anticipating the provision of competent human
resources (HR) in the Industry 4.0 sectors. The Indonesian Ministry of Industry
has initiated the launching of "Making Indonesia 4.0" which was
inaugurated by the President, of Indonesia, Joko Widodo on April 4th, 2018.
Industrial technology 4.0 is a technology based on artificial intelligence,
internet of things, augmented reality / virtual reality, advanced robotic and
3D printing, in order to improve efficiency and productivity, so that our
national industries have competitiveness in the domestic and global markets.
Haris said, petrochemical industry is one part among the chemical industries
which will be encouraged in developing the industrial technology 4.0 to become
leading biochemical manufacturing industries. For this reason, it is necessary
to develop competent and characterised human resources in the petrochemical
field. One among them is through the implementation of competency-based
industrial vocational education that links and matches with the industries that
produce industrial workforce, who is ready to work.
Haris revealed that PG is also actively conducting vocational training in the
East Java region, by accepting 300 vocational teachers for internships for 1
(one) month, as well as 150 vocational students for internship for 6 (six)
months. It is hoped for the existing support, cooperation and good relations
can be increased in the future.
The PG Director of Finance, Human Resources and General Affairs, Dwi Ary
Purnomo, said that competent and characterised HR are very valuable assets for
the company. PG as a subsidiary of PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) always strives
to improve its HR competencies. This is absolutely necessary to do as a pillar
of company's development towards a solution for agro-industry in order to
stimulate the realization of the National Food Security Program. Hartono
