The inauguration of the AMANAH Building by President Jokowi marks a strategic step in the effort to produce a superior young generation in Aceh. This building is not only a symbol of the government’s commitment to improving the quality of human resources (HR), but also creates a place for young people to explore their talents, skills, and innovations.
With the support of adequate facilities and programs that focus on empowerment, the AMANAH Building has the potential to become a center of economic and social growth for the people of Aceh.
Daffa Urrofi, a young content creator, said that Acehnese youth have great talent and potential to develop. The presence of AMANAH provides an opportunity for them to elevate local values and culture, which have been very rich but have not been fully explored.
He explained that various activities carried out by the program, including handicraft training in Pidie Regency, showed that skill development is not only limited to the digital world, but also includes valuable traditional aspects. The positive response from the community to this program further emphasizes the importance of AMANAH in building the skills of the younger generation.
Meanwhile, Dr. Syaifullah Muhammad, Head of the Atsiri Research Center (ARC) of Syiah Kuala University, emphasized that the presence of the multifunctional building is a new economic driver in Aceh.
With complete facilities available, AMANAH Building is ready to support the young generation in various fields, including entrepreneurship, creative industries, and research. Dr. Syaifullah added that this program not only offers facilities, but also various trainings aimed at increasing the independence and competence of young entrepreneurs.
The initiative creates opportunities for young people to manage and market their products digitally, in line with the rapid development of technology.
Acting Regent of South Aceh, Cut Syazalisma, also gave full support to the AMANAH program. She expressed her hope that AMANAH programs can be implemented well, especially in raising the spirit of entrepreneurship among the younger generation, especially in the agricultural sector.
Through a 7-hectare land use permit granted for the location of the program, Cut Syazalisma hopes that the agricultural sector can be a promising career choice. The collaboration between the local government and the AMANAH team is expected to create a positive impact on the community and improve welfare.
With the progress that has been made in recent years, the challenge of empowering the younger generation remains. However, the AMANAH building is expected to be an effective solution to overcome these challenges.
The facility will be an ideal space for young people to gather, collaborate and learn from each other, creating an environment conducive to the growth and development of new ideas.
In terms of economy, the construction of AMANAH Building has a significant impact. The business development center has the potential to create more new jobs, which in turn can reduce unemployment in Aceh.
With the support of this program, businesses that grow from AMANAH will become the driving force of the local economy, increase regional competitiveness, and provide broader economic benefits to the community.
The strategic steps taken in this development can bring significant changes to Aceh’s economic structure, directing it towards inclusive and sustainable growth.
The AMANAH building is also expected to function as an incubator for innovative business ideas. Facilities such as meeting rooms, co-working spaces, and access to experienced mentors will help young people develop and realize their business ideas.
The incubator can be a place for young people to learn and hone their entrepreneurial skills, so that they are ready to face challenges in the real business world.
Collaboration between various parties is also an important aspect in the success of the AMANAH Building construction. Appreciation is deserved to all parties involved, from the government, private sector, to local communities.
The synergy shows that when various elements of society come together, extraordinary results can be achieved. This real example of collaboration is an inspiration for other regions in developing programs that are beneficial for mutual progress.
In addition, the AMANAH building has the potential to strengthen social relations among the young generation of Aceh. With a special place to gather and interact, young people can build stronger and wider networks.
It will help them share knowledge, experiences and resources, accelerating the learning and self-development process. The building can also serve as a community center, a place where events and programs can be held to support the social and cultural development of young people.
Overall, the progress of the AMANAH Building is a positive step that deserves appreciation. With various programs offered, this building has the potential to become a center of excellence for human resources in Aceh, encouraging the younger generation to develop themselves and contribute to regional development.
The initiative will continue to move forward, towards a brighter and more prosperous future for all, with youth as the driving force of change. Through AMANAH, Aceh is ready to shine and produce a superior generation that can compete on the national and international stage.
