Registration for the training program runs from October 1 to 14, 2026.
The program is part of the government's efforts to provide broader access to vocational training opportunities that are aligned with current industry demands. Through this initiative, participants are expected to enhance their skills, strengthen their competencies, and prepare themselves to enter an increasingly dynamic job market.
Director General of Vocational Training and Productivity (Binalavotas) at the Ministry of Manpower, Darmawansyah, explained that changes in the labor market require people to continuously develop their skills and competencies.

"Through National Vocational Training Batch 6, we aim to provide more opportunities for the public to develop their vocational skills and competencies. We hope this training opportunity will be utilized to the fullest to help participants prepare for the ever-changing demands of the world of work," Darmawansyah said in a press release issued by the Ministry of Manpower's Public Relations Bureau on Saturday, October 3, 2026.
Vocational Training to Strengthen Professional Competencies
Darmawansyah explained that developing vocational skills does not end with a single training program but requires a continuous learning process. This is essential to ensure that people possess qualifications that match changing labor market demands.
According to him, developments in the economy and industry continue to generate new requirements for workers with specialized skills. This situation makes it necessary for individuals to actively and independently improve their competencies through various training and qualification programs.
Through the 2026 National Vocational Training Program Batch 6, the Ministry of Manpower seeks to expand public access to vocational training opportunities. The program also provides prospective workers with an opportunity to strengthen their abilities and prepare themselves for competition and the demands of professional life.
Darmawansyah expressed his hope that participants would complete every stage of the training program with strong commitment. He also encouraged them to make the most of this opportunity to gain the greatest possible benefits from the entire learning process.
He emphasized the importance of raising public awareness about the need to continuously improve competencies in line with developments in the labor market. With increasingly relevant qualifications, individuals are expected to be better prepared to face various career opportunities and challenges.
