Following the Celebration of 125 equipped SMK, the Centre of Excellence for Electricity, Automation and Renewable Energy continues to conduct training for 15 vocational high school (SMK) teachers in Electrical Installation.

The CoE project has already equipped 125 SMK across Indonesia. Some of these SMK have the possibility to become Regional Center of Excellence and disseminate their new skills and share their equipment with neighboring SMK. This is the case of SMKN 1 Tana Toraja and SMKN 2 Komodo who became RCoE after a one-week on-site training.
