The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an
international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide
operations on behalf of the German Government. We work to shape a future worth
living in over 120 countries around the world.
The Indonesian government places a high priority on improving the quality and
quantity of TVET. This initiative is mainly driven by the fact that despite the
positive economic growth rates, the development of the labour market falls
short of the Indonesian government’s expectation. Although the unemployment
rate fell from 6.1% to 4.1% in 2012-2016 and that of youth unemployment from
19.5% to 15.4%, the 15-24 age group still represents the majority of the
non-employed labour force at 58%. Furthermore, the open unemployment rate of
graduates of TVET secondary schools (SMKs) in August 2017 is still high (23%,
1,621,402; source: BPS, 15 Dec 2017). The Indonesian government is, therefore,
aiming for an extensive modernisation and expansion of the TVET system.
The project TVET System Reform 2.0 (TSR 2.0) is a follow-on project, a joint
effort between the Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs (CMEA) and the
German Development Cooperation through GIZ, aiming at supporting the
implementation of key elements of the Indonesian Government’s reform agenda on
technical and vocational education and training (TVET).
The German and Indonesian Government are committed to implement a cooperation
with the aim to support the Indonesian Government to implement key elements of
the Indonesian Government’s National TVET Strategy. TVET System Reform 2.0 (TSR
2.0) Project implements the activities at 2 level, national and sub national
level, i.e. in the national level, TSR Project support to strengthen the
capacities of the National TVET Committee (KNV) to fulfil its mandate. The
results hypothesis is as follows: Mandated by the Presidential Staff Office,
KNV will submit proposals for harmonizing the divergent regulations in
legislative procedures. In this way, overlapping responsibilities of the
ministries involved are resolved and policy recommendations for a future
oriented design of the VET system are formulated on the basis of a central data
analysis. The intention is for the private sector to play a proactive,
self-confident role in KNV and in sectoral TVET committee.
