KADIN Indonesia Champions Digital Transformation for Members with eduCLaaS Partnership
Jakarta, Indonesia – June 5, 2024 – Kadin Indonesia prioritizes accelerating digitalization for its members through a strategic partnership with eduCLaaS. KADIN recognizes the progress but emphasizes the need for continuous improvement in both the quality and sustainability of digital adoption among its members.
Established in 1968, KADIN Indonesia serves as the sole parent organization for Indonesian businesses, encompassing state-owned enterprises, cooperatives, and private companies. KADIN boasts an extensive network of business associations across all sectors and regions, making them a powerhouse for trade, investment, and business activities.
eduCLaaS steps in as a cloud-based education platform offering Competency Learning as a Service (CLaaS). Unlike basic digital education, eduCLaaS focuses on a competency-based curriculum, work-based learning, and blended learning approaches. eduCLaaS bridges the digital skills gap in Asia, and since its arrival in Indonesia (2018), it has collaborated with universities to produce job-ready graduates equipped with digital soft skills. In 2022, eduCLaaS launched an enterprise unit specifically catering to Indonesian industries. The crucial year of 2023 saw eduCLaaS and Kadin sign a “Member KADIN Go Digital” MoU to develop and implement digital transformation initiatives for KADIN members.
Leslie Loh, CEO of eduCLaaS, emphasizes the critical role of digital transformation in the digital economy. “Digital transformation is crucial for businesses to face the digital economy,” said Leslie Loh. “In an increasingly inclusive digital economy, digitalization helps businesses optimize operations, enhance efficiency, expand their reach, create new markets and opportunities, and is expected to become part of the global value chain. This is where KADIN’s role becomes very strategic in enabling its members to advance and compete globally.”
KADIN Indonesia and eduCLaaS have already begun rolling out digital workshops for members. A recent example is the Digital Marketing and Content Marketing workshop held in Solo as part of the Solo Great Sale 2024. KADIN, alongside KADIN Kota Surakarta, demonstrated their commitment to empowering businesses, particularly MSMEs in the Soloraya area. The joint effort involved exhibitions, promotions of MSME products and tourist destinations, and culminating in a series of digital workshops with eduCLaaS and the Indonesian Internet Domain Name Registry (PANDI). 100 selected KADIN MSME members participated in these workshops.
Ferry S. Indrianto, Chairman of KADIN Surakarta, highlighted the workshop’s role in supporting the “Let’s Join Kadin” program. His goal is to elevate KADIN Soloraya members by leveraging digital technology. Indrianto emphasizes that digitalization empowers MSMEs, enhances competitiveness, and ultimately contributes to local economic growth. “This workshop also aims to support the ‘Let’s Join KADIN’ program so that KADIN Soloraya members can elevate their status by leveraging digital technology,” said Ferry S. Indrianto. “Through digitalization, we can elevate MSMEs to a higher level, enhance competitiveness, and ultimately contribute to local economic growth.”
The workshops covered various topics, including introductions to digitalization, creating and managing online stores, and crafting effective digital marketing strategies through social media and other digital tools. eduCLaaS provided materials on Digital Marketing and Content Marketing, along with offering in-depth consultations to help participants overcome digitalization challenges.
eduCLaaS plans to expand into the enterprise and conglomerate market this year, according to Leslie Loh. Their vision extends beyond digital transformation training; they aim to cultivate talent with strong soft skills and job readiness. eduCLaaS aspires to become the leading partner for companies seeking digital transformation support in the digital economy, fostering collaboration between the government, education sector, and private businesses.
