The Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion (MTPE) and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries signed a memorandum of understanding to prepare and certify Peruvian talent required for the modernization of the naval industry, with the aim that investment and technology transfer translate into formal employment, productivity, and permanent capabilities for the country.
The agreement, signed by the head of the MTPE, Juan Sheput, will allow for the early identification of occupational profiles required by this industry and the preparation of workers, young people, instructors, and potential applicants to access new job opportunities.
This initiative is part of the agenda promoted by the government of President Keiko Fujimori to link large investment projects with the training of Peruvian talent and ensure that the growth of strategic sectors generates concrete opportunities for the population.
At the ceremony, Sheput highlighted that cooperation with South Korea will make it possible to bring international experience, new methodologies, and technological standards to Peruvian workers.
"This alliance allows us to bring international knowledge and experience to Peruvian talent," he stated.
He added that the true value of this cooperation will be that the development of the industry also translates into opportunities for people.
The memorandum is integrated into the alliance between Servicios Industriales de la Marina (Sima Perú) and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries to promote naval construction, technology transfer, and industrial development.
The program contemplates, at a minimum, the construction of 23 vessels: six multi-role ships, three offshore patrol vessels, four Río Pativilca class maritime patrol vessels, four coastal auxiliary vessels, four submarines, and two tankers.
It is estimated that this process will generate a sustained demand for specialized technical personnel, instructors, industrial services, and national suppliers.
The participation of the MTPE will allow for the identification of skill gaps, linking training with the real needs of the industry, and strengthening the intervention of the "Jóvenes Productivos" (Productive Youth) program.
The Minister of Labor and Employment Promotion, Juan Sheput, continued the round of social dialogue with representatives of the Central Autónoma de Trabajadores del Perú (CATP) and the Confederación General de Trabajadores del Perú (CGTP), before the next session of the National Council of Labor and Employment Promotion (CNTPE).
This rapprochement stage began last week with the main business associations and continues with the trade union confederations, in order to listen to employers and workers, identify their priorities, and create conditions for a tripartite dialogue.
At the meeting, the situation of EsSalud, the minimum wage, labor inspection, collective bargaining, and labor rights related to digital platforms, among other important topics, were analyzed.
