Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic directly impacts workers, which causes them to experience layoffs (PHK). So there is a need for a solution to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic for workers who have been laid off. This article aims to analyze the views of labour law on layoffs due to the direct effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The method used is descriptive analysis with a normative juridical approach. This article concludes that educational institutions are needed to empower workers affected by layoffs due to the impact of COVID-19, considering that educational institutions have a significant contribution during or after the COVID-19 pandemic. Strategies that are planned to achieve the goals of these educational institutions will be achieved if the system that is intended to achieve these goals are not due to an accident but by plan is accompanied by good planning, control, design and executive education to be able to produce competitive graduates apart from being relevant in the job market. Creating their job opportunities, ready-to-use, ready-to-sell, ready-to-use and independent graduates, a life skill-based education system, which equips the skills to be willing, dare to face life and life problems during or after the COVID-19 pandemic. Fair without feeling depressed even proactively, creatively, innovatively looking for and finding solutions so that they can face problems during or after the COVID-19 pandemic. The concept of life skills in question is life skills that are broader than just skills for work or not just manual skills but self-awareness skills, personal skills, thinking skills. Rational (thinking skills), social skills, academic skills, vocational skills can explore 8 (eight) intelligence: Linguistic intelligence, Logical-mathematical intelligence, Intelligence, Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, Musical intelligence, Interpersonal intelligence, Intrapersonal intelligence, Natural intelligence. With competencies in the form of 8 (eight) intelligence as described above, workers who have been laid off due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have the potential to earn a decent income, which is one of the main assets in Indonesia's economic development.
