Reports
【Reflection】
The programme “From Talent to Triumph: Shaping Indonesia’s Future through Workforce Expansion” was held at the Indonesia Pavilion during Expo 2025 in Osaka and served as a multifaceted platform for dialogue on workforce development between Indonesia and Japan. Currently, around 200,000 Indonesians reside in Japan, and foreign workers are increasingly welcomed across a wide range of sectors, including railways, logistics, and skilled labour.
The session highlighted initiatives such as the Jakarta MRT Academy and company-led training programmes, which prepare participants to become immediately effective in their roles, with achievements and challenges openly shared among attendees. Furthermore, internships for Indonesian university students offered not only practical experience but also opportunities to deepen cultural understanding and teamwork, facilitating engagement across language and cultural differences. Additionally, SBI Remit’s low-cost, multilingual remittance services were presented as a practical measure to support workers’ livelihoods and assist their families.
Overall, the session underscored the importance of collaboration among governments, companies, and educational institutions, demonstrating that such coordinated efforts not only address workforce shortages but also promote long-term career development and post-return contributions to industry. Participants shared a common understanding that combining innovative training with cultural awareness is key to sustainable workforce development.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Following the session, both Japan and Indonesia have been advancing concrete measures to strengthen workforce development and collaborative frameworks. In the railway sector, initiatives include the utilisation of specified skilled visas and enhanced training to prepare candidates for domestic qualification examinations. In addition, internships and skills training are being considered for logistics and manufacturing sectors. Educational institutions and companies are working to improve “Japanese plus alpha” skills and support career development, fostering personnel who can contribute immediately in their roles. Furthermore, the expansion of SBI Remit’s remittance and banking services continues to play a key role in supporting workers’ livelihoods and promoting financial inclusion. Cultural and labour ethics education is also helping to facilitate social integration for Indonesian workers in Japan, establishing a foundation for long-term collaboration. These efforts extend beyond merely supplying labour; they represent a sustainable model aimed at fostering industry development and contributing to local communities upon workers’ return.
Moving forward, through continued public-private collaboration between Japan and Indonesia, it is expected that the quality of workforce development will improve and mutually beneficial employment opportunities will be created.
