Yassierli explained that the Talent & Innovation Hub is one of the Ministry of Manpower's efforts to strengthen the connection between vocational training, education, and the industrial world in order to produce productive, adaptive, and globally competitive human resources.

"From learning to earning, from potential to productivity," he said.

Meanwhile, Acting Director of Workforce Placement and Employment Opportunity Expansion at the Ministry of Manpower, Estiarty Haryani,  stated that this program is also aimed at fostering the emergence of young entrepreneurs and innovation-based startups.

"Through the Talent & Innovation Hub, we want to provide an integrated talent development space, from job readiness and entrepreneurship development to network and market access," explained Acting Director Estiarty.
