Jakarta (JP) – Indonesia and Switzerland signed a letter of intent (LoI) for cooperation to strengthen
Indonesia’s vocational education system. The cooperation will come under a dual education-and-training
system.

Switzerland Ambassador to Indonesia Yvonne Baumann said the dual system would help students
combine learning processes at school and in the workplace.

“Switzerland has consistently ranked among the world’s most competitive economies and has one of the
lowest rates of youth unemployment in the world,” she said after the LoI signing with the Industry
Ministry in Mojokerto, East Java, on Tuesday.

In addition to signing the LoI, the two parties are also seeking to assist a certain manufacturing sector and
link it with vocational schools (SMK).

The embassy has stated that to enhance bilateral relations with Indonesia Switzerland has allocated 75
million Swiss Franc (US$74.36 million) for various development projects in the
2017-2020 periods. The funds will be allocated for private sector development, infrastructure, trade, and
macroeconomics assistance.
 Meanwhile, earlier on Tuesday, the Industry Ministry launched a demand-driven vocational program
named "Link and Match" in Mojokerto to address the lack of skilled workers which has been a big
problem that hampers the development of some industries until now.
