Dream - Presidential candidate (Capres) Ganjar Pranowo and vice-presidential candidate (Cawapres) Mahfud MD, will expand ready-to-work schools throughout Indonesia, if they are elected in the 2024 elections. This pair is determined to provide 17 million new job opportunities. It is known that Ganjar has previously implemented this plan when he was the governor of Central Java.

Alumni from that school now number more than 1800 people. These graduates work in state-owned enterprises, companies both within and outside the country, as well as running their own businesses. As an example, there is Rafly Saputro, a child from a disadvantaged family who studied at SMK Jateng and now works at a renowned company in Japan. There is also a child of a motorcycle taxi driver, an SMK alumni, who works in Japan.

The house, according to Susilo, was originally a dilapidated shack. He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Ganjar. "If you hadn't established SMK Jateng, our fate wouldn't have changed," as stated in the press release received by Dream on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.

Speaking about Ganjar's performance as the Governor of Central Java, in 2023 he increased the UMP to Rp.1.958 million from Rp.1.812 million in 2022. An increase of about eight percent. Ganjar is considered to have created a business-friendly environment and encouraged entrepreneurs to relocate their companies to Central Java. "In 2019, at least 140 companies moved to Central Java. Throughout 2022, at least 97 companies moved to the region. Unemployment continues to decline," according to the press release.

Ganjar realizes that such a wage is not enough to cover workers' needs, that's why he intervenes by meeting some basic needs. Such as collaborating with BPJS Employment, paying BPJS premiums for informal workers, building rental houses for workers, helping workers' children go to school, wage subsidies, and providing large fare discounts for workers through Trans Jateng Bus.

Ganjar is said to be aware of the complex bureaucracy and rampant extortion, just as corruption burdens the economy and the people. That is why he chose Mahfud MD as his deputy. Mahfud MD is known to be strongly against corruption, bribery, and believes that the biggest problem of the country is law enforcement and certainty. The economy, especially foreign investors, needs legal certainty, and that certainty is damaged due to so many obstacles.

"If legal certainty is guaranteed, many investors will surely come in and there will be a lot of factory relocations from other countries coming here. Job opportunities will be widely open," wrote the press release. Resolving corruption is considered a way out of many problems, including the availability of millions of job opportunities. "You engage in corruption, I will crash into you," said Mahfud MD during the vice presidential debate.
