The Effectiveness of the Implementation of the Job Training Program at the Job Training Center, Bogor Regency Manpower Office, in 2025

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of Job training programs at the Job Training Center (BLK) of the Bogor Regency Manpower Office in 2025 and to provide empirical evidence using Budiani’s effectiveness indicators. This study examines four variables: program targeting, program outreach, program objectives, and program monitoring. The method used is descriptive with a quantitative approach via a questionnaire, supported by observations and structured interviews, with a sample of 85 people from a population of 556 training participants. Data were collected in 2025 and analyzed using the Weighted Mean Score method. The results indicate that the Job training program is highly effective, with an average score of 4.47, classified as “Very Good,” based on the dimensions of program targeting, program outreach, program objectives, and program monitoring. Challenges faced by both the Job Training Center (BLK) and trainees include budget constraints from the central government, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, limited dissemination of information regarding training, and limited information regarding job vacancies. Efforts to address these challenges include increasing the number of training sessions offered throughout 2025, collaborating with private Job training centers (LPK) and village-level institutions, and providing access to information regarding job opportunities through WhatsApp groups.
