Jakarta, June 6, 2026 – Every individual deserves the opportunity to grow, contribute, and reach their full potential. Yet many neurodivergent individuals continue to face challenges in their journey toward employment, ranging from limited access to information to a lack of available opportunities. Guided by the belief that diversity is a source of strength, PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) continues to foster an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive according to their unique abilities and potential.
This commitment is highlighted during a talk show titled “More Than Just a Quota: Neurodivergent Individuals Contributing to Indonesia,” organized by Circle4Autism/Indonesian Autism Foundation at the Multipurpose Hall of Bidakara Tower 1 in South Jakarta. The event serves as a platform for discussion and shared learning on the importance of creating more inclusive workplaces for neurodivergent individuals and persons with disabilities in Indonesia.
During the event, UT represents the industrial sector by sharing its experience in implementing the Harmonika Program (Harmony in Diversity), an empowerment initiative that provides structured and sustainable internship opportunities for persons with disabilities. The program is a collaboration between UT and the Indonesian Autism Foundation, aimed at creating access to meaningful work experiences for neurodivergent individuals.
“The Harmonika Program is designed not only to provide internship opportunities for neurodivergent individuals and persons with disabilities, but also to ensure they gain meaningful work experience that aligns with organizational needs. Therefore, the process is carried out in a structured manner, starting from administrative screening and interviews to psychological assessments, enabling participants’ potential to be identified and developed optimally within the workplace,” said Nurdiansyah Budiman, Organization Development & Productivity Department Head of United Tractors.
In 2025, the Harmonika Program provides internship opportunities to 18 persons with disabilities across 10 companies within the UT Group. Throughout the three-month internship period, participants have the opportunity to enhance their skills, build self-confidence, and gain firsthand experience in a professional work environment.
Through this forum, UT also introduces the Harmonika Program 2026, reaffirming its commitment to creating more opportunities for neurodivergent individuals to develop their potential and contribute meaningfully to society. Information about the program is shared with parents, families, supporting organizations, and various stakeholders dedicated to empowering neurodivergent individuals.
The talk show features distinguished speakers, including Prof. Rhenald Kasali, Ph.D.; Wiku Anindito from HPP Law Firm; Taufiq Hidayat, Job Coach at Circle4Autism/Indonesian Autism Foundation; and Nurdiansyah Budiman from United Tractors. Their insights highlight the importance of collaboration among families, communities, government institutions, and the business sector in building a more inclusive employment ecosystem.
During the discussion session, moderator Ananda Sukarlan, representing Circle4Autism, expresses appreciation for UT’s efforts in creating opportunities for neurodivergent individuals to grow and contribute. He also states that the Harmonika Program serves as a best-practice example of how companies can develop structured, comprehensive, and impactful inclusive internship programs that benefit both participants and organizations.
The event concludes on an inspiring note with testimonial sessions from Harmonika Program interns. Their stories serve as a reminder that when equal opportunities are provided, neurodivergent individuals can demonstrate their capabilities, build independence, and make meaningful contributions to the workplace and society.
Through the Harmonika Program, UT seeks to create opportunities for every individual to grow and succeed. By opening more pathways for inclusion, the Company hopes to empower neurodivergent talents to realize their potential and contribute to a more inclusive, diverse, and sustainable Indonesia.
