BOVEN DIGOEL – Merauke’s Manpower & Transmigration Service collaborates with Sorong’s Productivity & Vocational Training Center and Tunas Sawa Erma (TSE) Group on a non-institutional, competency-based training program for the indigenous population in TSE area. It has two classes: fuel-injected motorcycle maintenance training and outboard motor mechanical training.
The tailor-made training course opened with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing ceremony between TSE Group and the training center, witnessed by 32 participants at TSE Group’s Training Room in Asiki, Jair District, Boven Digoel Regency, South Papua on Tuesday (5/23).
“It is launched in compliance with Presidential Instruction No. 9 [on boosting prosperity-enhancing efforts]. We’re really looking forward to its impact on talent quality in Boven Digoel,” said the head of the training center, Rahman Arsyad, R.T., MSP.
Each year, the Productivity & Vocational Training Center runs training and certification programs to help locals increase their competencies. For this occasion, Arsyad expected “trainees” to reap benefits and implement the skills they’ve learned there at work.
Full of productive-age men, this year’s batch is split into two groups, with the first learning how to care for fuel-injected motorcycles and the other on fixing outboard motors.

The course will take 20 business days to complete, and trainees will be guided by two instructors from the training center. TSE Group will be providing the venue.
“The goal of this is to equip our students with specialized skills that will allow them to get a job or start their own business. I hope they will use this time and opportunity wisely so they can apply these lessons and improve their finances later in life,” said Daniel Sim Ayomi, BSS, LL.B., MPA, TSE Group’s Deputy General Manager.
“I’d like to thank the company and the manpower and transmigration service for creating this program for us, young Papuans, so we can have skills we can use in the corporate and business world,” said one of the participants, Anacletus Kinombai.
