Karawang, West Java (September 24, 2026) – Toyota Indonesia Community Academy (Akademi Komunitas Toyota Indonesia/AKTI) in 2026 graduated 76 students from two diploma programs designed to align with industry needs. The graduates consist of 44 Diploma Two (D2) graduates in Four-Wheel Vehicle Assembly Operations (Tata Operasi Perakitan Kendaraan Roda Empat/TOPKR4) and 32 Diploma One (D1) graduates in Automation Machinery Maintenance Engineering (Teknik Pemeliharaan Mesin Otomasi/TPMO).
This graduation is one of AKTI’s contributions to developing vocational education oriented toward creating high-quality and competitive human resources (HR) for the industrial sector, particularly Indonesia’s automotive industry. In line with the theme “From Learning to Leading: Empowering Future Industry Professionals,” AKTI equips graduates with technical competencies and practical skills through a curriculum designed based on actual needs in the field, enabling them to contribute directly upon entering the workforce.
AKTI is an initiative of PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) established to address the need for human resources in the automotive industry, while also forming part of the company’s efforts to carry out sustainable people development. This positions industry not only as a user of the workforce, but also as part of the process of developing the human resource competencies needed to respond to technological developments and future industry challenges.
“For TMMIN, developing human resource quality is not a short-term program, but an investment to ensure the sustainability of the national automotive industry. Through AKTI, we are laying the foundation for the emergence of talents who not only possess technical competencies, but also understand industry standards and work culture. We believe that investing in people today will become a strength for the industry in the future,” said TMMIN President Director Nandi Julyanto at the 10th AKTI Graduation Ceremony, held at TMMIN Plant 1 in Karawang, West Java, on Thursday (September 24).
The demographic bonus presents an important momentum for Indonesia to prepare its younger generation to contribute to development and industrial growth in the future. This momentum needs to be accompanied by targeted human resource development that is relevant to the needs of the workforce. Amid technological changes and continuously evolving productivity demands, young people need to be equipped with competencies that enable them to enter the workforce while continuing to develop in line with industry needs.
In this process, industry involvement in education and people development is important. Industry has an understanding of the competencies required in the field, and its involvement can therefore help bridge the potential of young people with the needs of the workforce. This synergy also encourages human resource development to go beyond workforce readiness, serving as a foundation for continuous competency development.
“Indonesia has many young people with great potential to grow and develop. Therefore, education and industry need to move in harmony, building competencies that are aligned with workforce needs. Through people development, including AKTI, TMMIN seeks to strengthen the link and match between education and industry so that the younger generation is better prepared to enter the workforce and continue to develop,” said I Nyoman Winaya Adnyana, Vice President Director of TMMIN.
Officially established on October 27, 2015, AKTI has graduated 429 students, with 326 alumni currently working at TMMIN and 16 companies that are part of Toyota Indonesia’s supply chain. As their careers progress, these alumni continue to develop and have opportunities to take on greater roles in the industrial sector, including assignments in the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, and Japan.
One of them is Muhammad Safiq, a graduate of the first cohort of the Machinery Maintenance and Automation Engineering (TPMO) Program, who is now entrusted with the role of Team Leader at TMMIN’s Engine Plant in Sunter.
“For me, AKTI not only provided technical skills, but also instilled discipline, responsibility, and the courage to continue learning. I carried these values with me when I began my career as a Maintenance Technician and eventually was entrusted with the role of Team Leader. AKTI became one of the important foundations that shaped me to continue developing in the workplace.”
The development of alumni is also reflected in various achievements at the national, regional, and global levels. At the Toyota Group regional level, several AKTI alumni successfully won gold and silver medals at the Asia Pacific Skill Contest in Thailand in 2024 and 2025, and once again achieved outstanding results in 2026 by winning gold medals in the Press and Maintenance categories, as well as a silver medal in the Machining category. These achievements form part of AKTI’s journey in equipping graduates with competencies and character aligned with industry needs.
Talent development starting from the education stage is also part of the long-term efforts to support the sustainability of the automotive industry while opening wider opportunities for Indonesia’s younger generation.
