Survey of private sector training in Indonesia

This report, based on a survey, through questionnaires, interviews, and literature searches, of 74 private companies in the banking, accounting/auditing/consulting and management training, oil and gas, engineering and construction, pharmaceutical, assembly/light manufacturing, and other industries, focuses on training in the modern industrial sector and identifies areas where the most training is being conducted. Training is examined by subsector and, where information is available, manpower needs, recruiting patterns, turnover, and other factors critical to skills development are discussed. Areas where industrial subsectors or particular firms are providing training to the economy at large receive special attention; firms conducting particularly significant or representative training are discussed individually. The report also examines possible avenues for expanding private sector training through donor activity, the creation of cooperative industry-wide institutions, and possible changes in the government"s "Indonesianization" policy. A 4-page bibliography is provided. (Author abstract, modified)
