To meet industry demands, UT School continuously develops its curriculum to align with industrial advancements. Industry-based learning is reinforced through technical competencies, certifications, English language proficiency, and technologies such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and 3D printing. This learning process is underpinned by the internalization of the “INSANI” culture (encompassing Integrity, Courtesy, Expertise, and Courage), ensuring students possess not only technical skills but also the character traits needed to enter the workforce.
The collaboration between industry and vocational education is highlighted during the graduation ceremony through a video compilation featuring Batch 38 students and a dance performance by SMK Prestasi Agung, a school supported by UT under the SOBAT program. On this occasion, UT School, in partnership with UT’s CSR Division and YKBUT Press, launches the book Dasar-Dasar Teknik Alat Berat: Product Knowledge untuk SMK (Fundamentals of Heavy Equipment Engineering: Product Knowledge for Vocational High Schools). The copyright for the book is simultaneously handed over to UT as a contribution toward expanding access to relevant technical knowledge for vocational students.
The event proceeds with the symbolic presentation of Competency Certificates. Syamsi Hari, S.E., M.M., Chairperson of Badan Nasional Sertifikasi Profesi (BNSP), commended UT School for its consistent commitment to delivering vocational education aligned with industry needs and for fostering an increase in Indonesia’s certified workforce.
Through industry-based education, stronger professional certification, and collaboration with industry and educational partners, UT School continues to serve as a bridge between education and industry needs. These efforts simultaneously reinforce UT’s role in preparing an outstanding generation, equipped with the competence and character to contribute and compete sustainably in both national and global labor markets.
