The associate RECP assessors will receive intensive training in RECP methods and techniques and will be coached in applying these in selected metal products enterprises to qualify as RECP industry assessor.

The programme targets metal products industries in Central Java area (Semarang, Magelang, Klaten, and possibly Tegal) and West Java area (Cikarang and/or Karawang).
