Depok, August 24, 2026 – PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) supported the National Launch of the DigiSkillBadge Ecosystem, organized by the Directorate of Vocational High Schools (SMK), Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen), at Felfest UI, Faculty Club, Universitas Indonesia, Depok, West Java. The initiative is part of an effort to establish a vocational education ecosystem that documents the competency journey of SMK students, encompassing their skills, experiences, works, and achievements throughout the learning process.
DigiSkillBadge serves as a digital competency recognition and portfolio system that enables students’ experiences and achievements to be documented in a more structured manner. Beyond serving as a record of the skills they have acquired, the portfolio can also provide evidence of competency, helping students showcase their capabilities to both educational institutions and the industry.
The launch brought together various stakeholders, including government representatives, educational institutions, education practitioners, the Indonesian Professional Certification Authority (BNSP), business and industry representatives, as well as other relevant partners. The event was attended by Director General of Secondary and Special Education at Kemendikdasmen Tatang Muttaqin, S.Sos., M.Ed., Ph.D., and Director of Vocational High Schools Dr. Arie Wibowo Khurniawan, S.Si., M.Ak.
As one of the partners from the business and industry sector, UT supported an initiative that connects the competencies of SMK students with the needs of the workforce. This support is part of UT’s contribution to advancing relevant vocational education while preparing young talent with competencies aligned with industry developments.
“United Tractors views vocational education as an important foundation for preparing a competent workforce that can keep pace with industry developments. Therefore, collaboration between the government and educational institutions is essential to ensure that the learning process goes beyond skills acquisition and also produces competency records that are recognized by the workforce. We hope DigiSkillBadge can help SMK students showcase the competencies and works they have developed while opening up broader opportunities for their future growth,” said UT Corporate Social Responsibility Manager Himawan Sutanto.
The National Launch of the DigiSkillBadge Ecosystem began with participant registration, a coffee morning, and a visit to the Directorate of SMK’s DigiSkill Expo. The event continued with a traditional dance performance, the singing of the Indonesian national anthem and SMK March, a prayer, a report by the Director General of Secondary and Special Education at Kemendikdasmen, followed by remarks and the official opening. The DigiSkillBadge launch then featured an introductory video, press conference, and talk show titled “Future Starts with Skills: Portofolio Kompetensi Murid SMK,” which brought together representatives from the Directorate of SMK, education practitioners, and BNSP. The series of activities continued with another talk show, “Future Starts with Skills: Saatnya Talenta SMK Berkarya,” an application demonstration through a DigiSkillBadge tutorial video, closing remarks, and visits to partner and SMK booths.
Through its involvement in the DigiSkillBadge launch, UT continues to create opportunities for collaboration with the government and educational institutions to support young people’s readiness for the workforce. This effort is part of UT’s contribution to fostering vocational education that not only equips students with relevant skills, but also helps them recognize, showcase, and develop their potential to grow into capable young talent ready to create meaningful work and contribute to society.
