Menteri Ketenagakerjaan (Menaker) Yassierli menerima penghargaan IDN Times Inspiring Newsmaker Award 2025 dalam acara Semangat Awal Tahun 2026 di IDN HQ, Jakarta, Kamis (15/1/2026). Penghargaan ini diberikan kepada tokoh yang dianggap memberi inspirasi melalui kebijakan dan program publik yang berdampak positif.

Menurutnya, komunikasi yang jelas dapat menumbuhkan optimisme masyarakat dalam menghadapi tantangan dunia kerja. "Di Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan, yang utama adalah menumbuhkan optimisme. Kami percaya, banyak hal positif yang sedang dilakukan untuk membantu masyarakat," ujarnya dalam keterangannya, Sabtu (17/1/2025).

Optimisme Jadi Fondasi Jalankan Berbagai Agenda Perbaikan di Sektor Ketenagakerjaan

Ia menjelaskan bahwa optimisme menjadi fondasi dalam menjalankan berbagai agenda perbaikan di sektor ketenagakerjaan. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah perlu memastikan bahwa masyarakat tidak hanya mengetahui kebijakan yang dijalankan, tetapi juga memahami berbagai program yang tersedia dan cara mengaksesnya.

Dalam konteks ini, Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan terus melaksanakan sejumlah program prioritas, antara lain:

• Program Magang Nasional yang pada 2025 telah menjangkau lebih dari 100 ribu peserta
• Program Tenaga Kerja Mandiri
• Pelatihan vokasi
• Penguatan layanan Karirhub sebagai sarana informasi karier dan peluang kerja bagi masyarakat

Kerja Pemerintah Harus Disertai dengan Komunikasi Jujur dan Terbuka

Menaker Yassierli menegaskan bahwa komunikasi yang efektif memungkinkan masyarakat tidak hanya menjadi penonton, tetapi juga dapat memanfaatkan berbagai program pemerintah untuk meningkatkan keterampilan, memperluas peluang kerja, dan bahkan membangun usaha mandiri.

Menurut Yassierli, penghargaan ini menjadi pengingat bahwa kerja pemerintah harus selalu disertai dengan komunikasi yang jujur dan terbuka. "Ketika optimisme tumbuh, tantangan bisa dihadapi bersama. Keinginan kami sederhana: menghadirkan manfaat nyata bagi masyarakat Indonesia," ujarnya.
