Building Future Industrial Talent: TMMIN Expands Its Vocational Education Initiative in Bali Through Automotive Engine Training Equipment Donations

Denpasar, Bali (July 24, 2026) – Strengthening industry involvement in supporting vocational education through sustainable collaboration with educational institutions, PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN), through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, has expanded its Vocational School Development program to Bali Province by donating automotive engine training equipment featuring the latest vehicle technology to SMKN 1 Denpasar and SMK Rekayasa Denpasar.

The donation was presented by TMMIN President Director Nandi Julyanto together with Vice President Director I Nyoman Winaya Adnyana. The contribution consisted of one Toyota 2TR gasoline engine for SMKN 1 Denpasar and one Toyota 2GD diesel engine for SMK Rekayasa Denpasar. The training equipment is expected to support practical learning for students in the Light Vehicle Engineering (TKRO) program at both schools, particularly in understanding the latest automotive technologies and enhancing their competencies in line with industry developments.

The donation is part of the expansion of TMMIN's Vocational School Development program, which has been running since 2017 and currently supports 30 partner vocational schools across West Java, East Java, Central Java, and the Special Region of Yogyakarta. In 2026, TMMIN expanded the program to Bali and Lombok by adding four new partner vocational schools, bringing the total number of partner schools nationwide to 34. This expansion also marks the program's first presence in Bali Province, with SMKN 1 Denpasar and SMK Rekayasa Denpasar becoming its first partner schools in the province.

"The best investment for industry is an investment in people. That is why we see vocational schools as a place to develop not only the competencies but also the character of future industrial talents. Through support for learning facilities and sustainable collaboration, we hope that more vocational school graduates will be well prepared to adapt to technological advancements and make meaningful contributions to the progress of Indonesia's national industry," said TMMIN President Director Nandi Julyanto.

As part of its vocational school development initiative, TMMIN also promotes the implementation of Toyota's industrial standards by enhancing teachers' competencies through basic industrial skills training and aligning the curriculum with industry needs. This approach aims to foster an industrial work culture within the school environment, encompassing discipline, workplace safety, quality, and the spirit of continuous improvement. As a result, the learning process is expected to produce graduates who are not only technically competent but also possess strong professional character. This expansion is expected to support the government's efforts to revitalize vocational education while preparing a highly skilled workforce capable of meeting the needs of various industrial sectors.

On the same occasion, I Nyoman Winaya Adnyana emphasized the importance of collaboration between the education sector and industry in advancing vocational education before teachers and vocational school representatives in attendance. He highlighted that synergy among schools, the government, and industry is essential to creating learning experiences that are relevant to industrial needs while preparing competent and competitive young talents.

"Collaboration among the education sector, the government, and industry is the key to building a sustainable vocational education ecosystem. When schools have access to industry-standard learning, teachers continuously enhance their competencies, and students gain relevant hands-on experience, we will nurture talents who are better prepared to face future challenges," concluded I Nyoman Winaya Adnyana.

Guided by the philosophy of 'Make People Before Make Product,' TMMIN believes that human resource development is the foundation of industrial progress. Through sustainable synergy among the education sector, the government, and industry, TMMIN believes vocational education will continue to serve as a driving force in developing globally competitive human resources, delivering long-term benefits to educational advancement while supporting the continued growth and competitiveness of Indonesia's national industry.
