Abstract
This study aims to identify, rationalize and resolve the issue of labor competitiveness as human capital in organizations/companies from the perspective of human capital management in Indonesia. This study uses qualitative methods, observation or document study to collect data and analyze the data descriptively which is used to examine the condition of the object under study. The secondary data used in this study is aimed at supporting the primary information that has been obtained. The results of the study indicate that the competitiveness of the workforce as human capital is a workforce that has the ability to work, work skills and employability to develop a more effective and efficient work system in order to increase work productivity. This can be built and created through quality education and skills training programs based on information and communication technology (ICT) by encouraging vocational education and training, apprenticeships, and competency certification for students in the field of national education.
