English
Abstract
This study aims to examine the impact of the job training program on increasing skills and the unemployment rate in East Java. The job training program is the government's effort to improve the skills of the workforce in order to reduce the unemployment rate. The research method used is study literature review analysis. The data were analyzed through literature review collected from related agencies, namely BPS Statistics, scientific articles and journals, and more. The results of the study show that the job training program has a positive impact on improving the skills of the participants. After participating in the job training program, participants reported having a significant increase in skills in areas relevant to the job they were looking for. This program provides effective and relevant training, thereby enhancing the ability of participants to compete in the labor market. In addition, this research also shows that the job training program has a positive impact on the unemployment rate in East Java. After joining the program, most of the participants were successful in finding jobs that matched the skills they had acquired during the training. This indicates that the job training program is effective in reducing the unemployment rate in the area. However, this study also identified several factors that need attention to increase the effectiveness of job training programs in East Java. These factors include the compatibility of the program with the needs of the labor market, the accessibility of the program for people in remote areas, and support from related parties in facilitating the placement of program participants into the world of work. This research provides valuable insight into the impact of job training programs on skills improvement and unemployment rates in East Java. The results of this research can be used as a basis for improving and developing future job training programs to support economic development and improve the quality of the workforce in the region.
