Indonesia Police Plan Job Training and Placement Program for Unemployed People
Indonesia's police plan a program to help unemployed people find work called Poliran, or Police Care for the Unemployed.
Police chief Suyudi Ario Seto announced the plan in Jakarta after meeting the village development minister on Friday.
Local community police officers and village assistants are expected to recruit participants, who will receive training before being referred to companies with vacancies.
Police also plan to coordinate with government agencies to use provincial job-training centres and provide support with other ministries.
The program may include people recovering from drug addiction, so they can build skills and return to work.
Suyudi says the aim is to reduce unemployment and crime, which he linked to public safety concerns.
The program has not yet launched; police say they will work with ministries and employers to put it in place.
