“The shortage of skilled labor in Canada is an opportunity for Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) to benefit from collaboration in the education sector through an apprenticeship program (co-op),” explained the Indonesian Consul General in Vancouver, Dr Tuti W Irman, during a presentation at a webinar on Friday (19/6).

The first series of webinars was organized by the Directorate General America and Europe of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia in collaboration with KADIN, in which 260 participants participated.

For example, three-quarters of small and medium-sized business owners in Vancouver over the past five years have had difficulty finding employees to run their businesses.

Even in the midst of a pandemic, labor shortages also arise, particularly in the construction, agriculture and healthcare sectors.

The Indonesian Consul General in Vancouver further stated that this opportunity must be exploited because Canada has a high standard of living and work safety.

Through this program, PMI candidates receive education and training that meets international standards while gaining valuable experience working in various business sectors in Canada.
