"Link and Match" Vocational Education between Vocational Schools and Industry Exceeds Target

The Centre of Excellence for Electricity, Automation and Renewable Energy is pleased to welcome Mame Diarra THIAM, a French engineering student from INSA Lyon - Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon for 6 (six) months internship from February to early August 2023 for the EnergyLab project. EnergyLab is an advance software of XR Operator Advisor that allows us to manipulate Schneider Electric equipment with Augmented Reality technology. The idea of the project is to guide vocational school (SMK) teachers and students to use the Schneider Electric equipment received in their school. With the help of the intern, we would like to model the Electrical Installation, Industrial Automation and Renewable Energy equipment using EnergyLab. By using this application, we can elaborate a teaching scenario for SMK teachers on how to use the equipment for learning. In her first week of work, she participated in a SENAR application test at SMKN 1 Plered and introduced herself in front of the participants of training.

On one hand, we held an offline recruitment test in SMKN 26 Jakarta, SMKM 1 Cikarang Selatan and SMKN 1 Adiwerna Tegal. On the other hand, we held an online recruitment test in SMKN 1 Cirebon. This recruitment test, which aim to help SMK students to obtain a job at Schneider Electric for the position of production operator and final quality control, awakening a lot of interest from the students.

Centre of Excellence for Electricity, Automation and Renewable Energy has the pleasure to announce that we welcome two new interns from the French Literature Department of Universitas Padjadjaran as the two parties developed an alliance through this internship program. As a result to this partnership, we provide an offer for French Literature students from Unpad to work in a professional environment where they could perform their French language skill in supporting CoE EARE to achieve our goals and participating in amelioration of vocational students skill regarding electrical engineering. From September to December 2023, the two mentioned interns, Theresia Melanie and Gregorius Dhanu Dewa Wiceca Dhanu will be responsible for learning modules translations from French into Bahasa Indonesia which are prepared by French experts from Schneider for SMK’ teachers and our numerous partners. It is to be hoped that CoE will not only appear in assisting vocational schools, but also all the related universities under Kemendikbud Indonesia.
