Airlangga encourages MSMEs to recruit interns, with salaries covered by the government.

Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto has called on micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to increase production capacities and maintain market stability. As part of this broader economic initiative, the government is encouraging MSMEs to absorb internship participants into their operations to foster workforce development.

To support this integration, the government has committed to covering the salaries of these internship participants. This policy aims to bridge the gap between vocational training and industry needs while simultaneously providing financial relief to small business owners looking to expand their human resources.
