The fast economic and technological development taking place in the globalised economy necessitate that enterprises and companies have a workforce adaptable to new skill requirements and qualifications. The potential role of the education and technical training systems has been widely recognised, if Indonesia is to meet its goal to become a competitive partner in a regional and globalised market. It has become increasingly apparent that enterprises and organisations need to prepare their employees for greater horizontal and vertical in-company mobility by training, retraining and upgrading the skills of their employees for a greater level of competence and qualification. This requires flexible company specific training programs designed in a modular form based on an action oriented approach, which will help to upgrade workers productivity, product quality and lessen labour problems. In addition, with the tightening of the labour market and the need for training programs to continually upgrade the competencies and qualifications of employees, company sponsored training and industry specific training in order to meet specialised demands has increased in importance. Many employers in Indonesia are recognising the need to invest more in setting up company specific training facilities in order to plan, develop and implement professional training and retraining as well as skill upgrading activities under an advanced in-house training delivery approach.
