6 vocational schools become regional center of excellence (RCoE)

We are pleased to announce that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between Schneider Electric Cikarang Plant and one of CoE’s SMKs located in Jawa Tengah, SMKN 2 Kebumen. The MoU will strengthen collaboration between industry and vocational school in the employment and improving soft & hard skills. This collaboration will provide students and teachers from SMKN 2 Kebumen with job opportunities, soft skills training through workshop provided by experts from SE, student internship that will be offered starting the August. CoE EARE would like to appreciate all colleagues Rudy GRANET, Juni Wulandari, siti nurmazidah, Heru Syahirul Alim, Maringan Cipto Budi Handoyo & sumarno lv for their commitment in strengthening the collaboration.

On 12 July 2022, CoE EARE had the honor of meeting with Mr. Andika Putra Pratama, Head of International Relation at Institut Teknologi Bandung, in order to expand the partnership with some universities in Indonesia.

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. We would like to thank our master trainer, Pak Tubagus Kurniawan, who conducted the training in these 2 SMK. The teachers were trained in the use of the equipment received and we hope that the trained teachers will be able to make an impact on the surrounding schools.
