The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) has launched the Making Indonesia 4.0 roadmap as proof of Indonesia’s readiness and strategy to enter the industrial era 4.0. In the future, the strategic step that needs to be taken is strengthening industrial human resources (HR) in utilizing digital technology.
“The most important component in the digital transformation process is awareness of the benefits of using digital equipment. Not only the ability to adopt technology, but also must be in line with the change in digital mindset in the human resources in it,” said Minister of Industry (Menperin) Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita in his statement in Jakarta, Monday (9/9).
To achieve this target, he continued, improving the quality of industrial human resources is crucial in accelerating the implementation of Making Indonesia 4.0 by prioritizing skills to remain in line with current industrial demand.
“The Ministry of Industry through the Industrial Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDMI) bridges the need for the availability of these human resources by preparing infrastructure and facilities through 13 vocational higher education institutions, 9 vocational schools, and 7 Industrial Training Centers (BDI) with specific specializations and competencies to provide in-depth skills,” he said.
One of the higher education units is the Banten Petrochemical Industry Polytechnic. The polytechnic initiated cooperation with industries such as PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical where students of this polytechnic already have work contracts so that when they graduate they can immediately work at partner companies. This polytechnic has three study programs, namely Petrochemical Industry Machine Technology, Petrochemical Industry Process Technology, and Petrochemical Industry Instrumentation Technology.
“Banten Petrochemical Industry Polytechnic has provided access to education with services in the form of dual system education, competency-based, has an industry 4.0 curriculum, has internationally certified workplace trainers and industry standard facilities,” said BPSDMI Secretary, Jonni Afrizon.
For information, the implementation of education at the Banten Petrochemical Industry Polytechnic has used a dual system learning system to ensure that its graduates become more competent, link and match with industry needs, so that later they will be ready to work.
Another example of a high unit of the Ministry of Industry that implements the industry 4.0 curriculum is the APP Jakarta Polytechnic which implements the industry 4.0 curriculum in the logistics sector. (Z-11)

Vocational Education and Training
One of the key initiatives is the implementation of an Industry 4.0 curriculum in vocational education and training institutions. The Banten Petrochemical Industry Polytechnic, for instance, has introduced a dual system education, competency-based, and industry 4.0 curriculum, which provides students with in-depth skills and practical experience. The polytechnic has also collaborated with industries such as PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical, offering students work contracts and ensuring their employability upon graduation.
Government Support and Policy
The Indonesian government is committed to supporting the development of Industry 4.0 through various policies and initiatives.
