Kupang, 19 August 2022 – In order to support the Government’s mission to accelerate the massive digitization process throughout the country, Lintasarta, an ICT company, is collaborating with Orbit Future Academy and officially launching CSR DIGITALINTASARTA program on Friday, August 19, 2022. This program presents a learning curriculum for hundreds of students and teachers at vocational high schools in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and is proclaimed as an effort to accelerate digital transformation, as well as absorbing labor in the region.
Lintasarta’s President Director, Arya Damar, explained that digital skills are one of the key skills that are of high value in the present and in the future. “A workforce with minimal technological insight and future skills will certainly find it difficult to keep up with the needs of the times. Seeing the potential for NTT to develop in the digital sector, we launched CSR DIGITALINTASARTA program as the answer; to strengthen human resources in NTT to support digital transformation in the region,” he explained.
CSR DIGITALINTASARTA program is aimed at 344 vocational high school students and teachers. Officially certified from Intel Corporation and Microsoft Corporation, this program contains training for upper-level students aimed at developing specific skills as preparation for entering the world of work. It is hoped that the skills imparted will provide greater opportunities for program participants to get a job and build a career, especially in the field of technology and informatics.
Lintasarta’s General Manager Corporate Secretary, Ade Kurniawan, also added that this program is a form of Lintasarta’s social responsibility in the Smart and Innovation pillars as the company’s real action in digitalizing efforts for the country and increasing employment in NTT. “We believe that local youth in NTT have the capacity, competence, and insight that can be compared with fellow professionals from other cities in Indonesia; having equal learning opportunities. For this reason, we hope that this program can help bring out NTT’s best potential in the digital field, strengthened by qualified local talents,” he said.
