MINISTER of Religion (Menag) Yaqut Cholil Qoumas emphasized Conference and Expose on Training (Conference Xtra) held by the Research and Development and Training Agency became an honorable forum. Because the activity was attended by people who were tasked with developing human resource (HR) competencies in the Ministry of Religion.
“Developing human resource (HR) competency is a noble task, because from competent HR will be born ASN who understand their duties. And from HR who understand their duties will be born HR who serve well, quickly, and accurately,” said Minister of Religion Yaqut while giving directions via video at the opening of the Xtra Conference in Surabaya, Tuesday (13/8/2024).
Through the statement received today, Minister of Religion Yaqut, who is familiarly called Gus Men, appreciated the Research and Development and Training Agency in the last two years. According to him, there has been a significant transformation process, especially in the aspect of education and training, namely from the traditional face-to-face scheme to digital-based training.
This, continued Gus Men, is accompanied by the competence of widyaiswara to be better, agile, and adaptive. “Digital transformation is one of the priority programs of the Ministry of Religious Affairs. This is a necessity because the human resources of the Ministry of Religious Affairs are very large, the number is more than 3.1 million,” he said. “With such conditions, it is impossible for training services to be carried out manually,” he added.
Furthermore, Gus Men appreciated the Xtra Conference which carried the theme Impactful and Joyful Learning. The work and programs of the Ministry of Religious Affairs’ Research and Development and Training Center should have an impact on organizational and community change in general, so the initiative to expand access to religious training for religious mass organizations should continue to be supported.
“The wider stakeholdersthen the training process must be further developed to be more enjoyable. Therefore, the message in this theme needs to be interpreted deeply so that it becomes a spirit to continue to provide a major impact of change for the organization and the people,” he said.

Finally, Gus Men advised that the Research and Development and Training Agency will transform into the Religious Moderation Agency and the Human Resources Development Center. Armed with the ongoing digital transformation, it is necessary to continue developing the new agency with a corporate university approach.
“Don’t go back to the old and manual way of working. Keep learning and innovating, so that you are always at the forefront of HR development,” he appealed.
Gus Men hopes that the struggle to provide the best service for the community can be a legacy for all of us. “Happy conference, don’t forget to be happy in providing service to the community,” he said. (Bay/S-1)
