He further added that the partnership grants Indonesia the chance to work with Japan to fulfill their demands for workers within that are of a productive age. He also thanked Japan for allowing internship opportunities for Indonesians in their country. “Indonesia has sent 81,302 participants up until May of 2019,” Hanif added.

The programme grants Indonesians the opportunity to work as nurses, building, cleaning, and maintenance management, tools, and machine components industry, industrial technicians, electronics, and in the information sector.
