Welcome to IFTDO 2025 in Jakarta—where the future of people and organizations takes center stage!

Indonesia: A Hub of HRD Excellence and Cultural Enrichment

Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago and home to over 270 million people, has long been recognized for its rich cultural heritage and dynamic economic growth. Beyond its breathtaking landscapes and diverse traditions, Indonesia has also emerged as a leader in human resource development (HRD) practices, offering valuable lessons for the global community. With Jakarta, its bustling capital, at the heart of this transformation, Indonesia exemplifies the integration of modern HR strategies and cultural values in building a future-ready workforce.

Indonesia's HRD Success Stories

Indonesia's commitment to human resource development is evident across various sectors. The country has prioritized workforce transformation to align with global trends such as digitization, sustainability, and innovation. Some notable HRD practices from Indonesia include:

The Kampus Merdeka Initiative

This program allows university students to take courses outside their major and gain real-world experience through internships, research projects, and entrepreneurial ventures. It aims to produce more adaptable and industry-ready graduates.

Strengthening Vocational Education

Indonesia has invested heavily in vocational schools (SMKs) and training programs, partnering with industries to align curricula with market demands. This includes introducing cutting-edge training in areas such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, and renewable energy.

Inclusive Workforce Development

Programs like the Pre-Employment Card (Kartu Prakerja) combine online training with financial assistance to reskill and upskill workers, particularly during economic challenges. This digital platform has been crucial in enhancing employability across diverse demographics.

Empowering Women in Leadership

Initiatives such as the Women's Empowerment Fund and mentorship programs for women in business are creating pathways for female leaders. Many organizations have adopted policies promoting work-life balance, equal pay, and professional growth opportunities for women.

Digital Transformation in HRD

Indonesian companies are leveraging artificial intelligence for recruitment, implementing employee engagement platforms, and utilizing e-learning tools for training. This digital shift has been instrumental in creating agile organizations capable of thriving in a rapidly changing environment.

These initiatives showcase Indonesia's innovative approach to human resource development, making it an ideal location for the IFTDO 2025 conference.

Jakarta: The Heartbeat of Indonesia's Transformation

As the capital city and economic hub of Indonesia, Jakarta embodies the nation's progress and potential. It offers a unique blend of modern business practices and rich cultural experiences, making it an excellent venue for our conference.

Jakarta exemplifies how innovation and cultural preservation can coexist, creating a unique environment where businesses and traditions thrive together, offering valuable lessons for global HR practices.

Jakarta, Indonesia's bustling capital, is a hub for innovative HR practices, driven by its dynamic business ecosystem, thriving startups, and multinational corporations. The city blends modernity and tradition, offering a rich cultural experience with historical sites, diverse cuisines, and vibrant festivals. Its advanced infrastructure, including Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and the MRT system, makes it a global destination for conferences and events.

We invite you to join us in Jakarta for IFTDO 2025, where we'll explore these success stories, engage with cutting-edge solutions, and shape the future of people and organizations together.
