Abstract

The vocational training center (Balai Latihan Kerja/BLK) has great potential to improve the quality of Indonesian workers. The existence of this BLK is increasingly strategic with the support of the government. This can be seen from the large number of BLKs scattered in each regency city in Indonesia. However, now the conditions of the BLK are very concerning, both in terms of the effectiveness of the use, the quality of the Training Center and the use of the BLK function. On the other hand, the condition and quality of Indonesian Migrant Workers (BMI) is very alarming. Based on research by the Center for Regional Studies of the University of Brawijaya, it was found that the majority of them did not have the skills needed in the destination country. This is compounded by their lack of knowledge about market analysis of needs (skills) in the destination country. From this fact, there is no link and match between migrant workers and the BLK of each region. This study aims to find a model that can minimize the weakness of handling migrant workers and increase their work productivity
