Strategi Dinas Transmigrasi dan Tenaga Kerja Provinsi Sulawesi Tenggara dalam Memberikan Pelayanan Kepada Tenaga Kerja Penyandang Disabilitas Untuk Mendapatkan Pekerjaan

Abstract

This article aims to examine the strategy of the Southeast Sulawesi Provincial Manpower and Transmigration Office in providing services to workers with disabilities to obtain employment. People with disabilities in Indonesia still face significant barriers to entering and remaining in the formal labor market. Southeast Sulawesi Province demonstrates the operational initiative of the Manpower and Transmigration Office, which has begun implementing skills and training programs for people with disabilities. However, the coverage and sustainability of the program still need to be strengthened, especially in aspects of job placement, relationships with the local business world, and the provision of decent work accommodations. The office does not yet have assistants who are capable of providing adaptive services for workers with disabilities. Therefore, a study is needed that systematically assesses the office's strategy. This research uses a qualitative method, namely research that aims to understand phenomena about what is experienced by research subjects, such as behavior, perceptions, motivations, actions, and others, holistically, and through descriptive methods in the form of words and language, in a specific, natural context by utilizing various natural methods. This study shows that the Southeast Sulawesi Provincial Transmigration and Manpower Office's strategy for providing services to workers with disabilities is not yet fully optimal due to various obstacles in policy, budget, human resource capacity, information systems, and external relations. Despite positive efforts and a number of inclusive practices, the implementation of employment service strategies for people with disabilities in Southeast Sulawesi remains partial and requires strengthening in various aspects.
