Golden Legacy, Global Horizon: PTDI Strengthens Human Resources, Collaboration, and Contribution to the Nation
Bandung (29/08) – Under the theme “Golden
Legacy, Global Horizon: Safeguarding National Sovereignty, Soaring on the
Global Stage,” PT Dirgantara Indonesia (Persero) (PTDI) commemorates its 50th
Anniversary through a series of activities reflecting the Company’s commitment
to strengthening the national aerospace industry, developing human resources
(HR) and technology, expanding collaboration, and contributing to society.
The series of activities includes
the “Piala Dirgantara” sports tournament, social initiatives, MSME empowerment
programs, the National Symposium, and the inauguration of the Dirgantara
Indonesia Training Center as part of the culmination of PTDI’s 50th
Anniversary celebrations.
Strengthening Human Resources
Development through the Dirgantara Indonesia Training Center
As part of the culmination of its
50th Anniversary celebrations, PTDI inaugurated the Dirgantara Indonesia
Training Center, witnessed by the Minister of Manpower of the Republic of
Indonesia, Yassierli. The inauguration was marked by the signing of an
inauguration plaque, symbolizing the commencement of the facility’s utilization
for competency development and improving the quality of PTDI’s human resources.
The occasion was attended by the
Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia, Yassierli; Special Staff to
the Minister of Manpower, Sukro Muhab; Chairman of Paguyuban, Didi Turmudzi;
Chairman of Persib Bandung, Umuh Muchtar; Vice President Commissioner of PTDI,
Bagus Puruhito; Commissioner of PTDI, Yusron Ihza Mahendra; as well as a number
of officials from the West Java Provincial Government and Bandung City
Government, along with academics from the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB)
and Universitas Nurtanio.
Minister of Manpower Yassierli
expressed his appreciation for PTDI’s efforts to develop a competency
development ecosystem that is aligned with industry needs and globally
competitive.
“I hope that the Dirgantara
Indonesia Training Center can become a role model for an integrated
training center connecting domestic and international industries, with the most
up-to-date curriculum modules, and producing graduates whose
qualifications are recognized not only nationally but also internationally,”
said Minister of Manpower Yassierli.
PTDI President Director Gita
Amperiawan said that the Dirgantara Indonesia Training Center is part of
PTDI’s efforts to prepare and produce highly qualified human resources while
strengthening a training ecosystem that is integrated with industry needs.
“The inauguration of the Dirgantara
Indonesia Training Center today signifies that, in addition to our
technical readiness, we are also ready to develop and prepare qualified human
resources. Since its soft launch in January 2024, we have conducted 17
types of training programs and trained 140 participants, 60 of whom are
currently in South Korea supporting the needs of our strategic partner through
a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with Korean Aerospace Industries
(KAI). Going forward, qualification and certification requirements that were
previously carried out overseas will be conducted in-house at PTDI. What
was previously an expenditure can now potentially become a source of revenue (revenue
stream) for the Company,” said PTDI President Director Gita Amperiawan.
Signing of Various Strategic
Cooperation Agreements
PTDI’s 50th Anniversary momentum was
also marked by the signing of several strategic cooperation agreements with PT
Falah Inovasi Teknologi, PT Samson Tiara, PT Inti Steel Sejahtera, INA, Inc.,
and AMMROC. The agreements cover digital technology development, facilities and
training services, Global Training Provider services, and Technical
Rectification C295.
In the area of Environmental and
Social Responsibility (TJSL), PTDI handed over Business Identification Numbers
(NIB) and Halal Certificates to its supported MSMEs as part of its efforts to
strengthen business legality and development. In the area of food security,
PTDI signed a Joint Commitment with the West Java Provincial Office of Food
Crops and Horticulture (Distanhorti), Paguyuban Pasundan, and PT Santana
Manggala Karya to strengthen the sorghum development program with partners in
West Java, while also supporting the “DI Goes to School” and Edutainment
education programs.
PTDI also supported the renovation
of two classrooms at SD 187 Lanuma Husein in collaboration with Defend ID, as
well as an environmental greening initiative through the planting of 50 tree
seedlings. In addition, PTDI contributed to the development of hydrogen car
components for the Antasena Team of the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of
Technology (ITS) to compete in Europe in 2027.
