Tunas Industrial Job Fair 2025 Boosts Local Employment and Job Access in Batam
Batam, May 27, 2025 — Tunas Industrial Estate successfully held the Tunas Industrial Job Fair 2025 online on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. The event was organized in strategic collaboration with the Batam City Manpower Office (Disnaker Kota Batam) as a concrete commitment to expanding employment opportunities and empowering local talent in Batam.
A total of 22 companies participated in the job fair, offering a wide range of career opportunities across strategic sectors including manufacturing, information technology, logistics, engineering, and finance. Public enthusiasm was overwhelming, with 56,017 applications submitted via the online registration system open from May 12–22, 2025.
Following the administrative screening process, 12,331 applicants qualified for the next stage, and 1,456 candidates advanced to online interviews. These interviews were conducted with company representatives gathered at Oakwood Hotel & Apartments Grand Batam, while candidates participated remotely from their respective locations.
The online system was adopted to efficiently manage the surge in applicants, which exceeded expectations. Rudi Sakyakirti, SH, MH, Head of the Batam Manpower Office, stated that the online format proved to be significantly more effective than traditional in-person methods.
“With this system, applicants are pre-screened, so only those who meet company criteria proceed to the interviews. The process is much smoother and more efficient,” he explained.
Calvin Winata, General Manager of Tunas Industrial, emphasized that the job fair reflects Tunas Industrial’s ongoing commitment to driving regional economic growth by creating inclusive and high-quality job opportunities.
“We see great potential in Batam’s workforce, especially among the younger generation. This job fair aims to connect companies with local talent who are ready to work and grow with the industry,” he said. He also noted that this initiative serves as a value-added service for investors who have placed their trust in Tunas Industrial Estate.
In addition to general applicants, the job fair also opened access for persons with disabilities. 147 applicants with disabilities applied for positions at Alfamart, and after verification, 40 candidates were shortlisted for in-person interviews with special accommodations.
The Tunas Industrial Job Fair 2025 not only served as a platform to connect job seekers and employers but also marked a collaborative effort between the industrial sector and local government to foster a modern, efficient, and adaptive labor system. Final results of the selection process will be announced within 30 days following the event.
