Jakarta (ANTARA) - State-owned telecommunication company Telkom Indonesia is collaborating with a multinational private technology enterprise to train three thousand digital talents to support digital transformation conducted by a Telkom subsidiary company.

Thousands of such talents came from four departments and subsidiaries of Telkom Indonesia and will undergo the digital talent development program until March 2022.

Indonesia Telecommunication & Digital Research Institute (ITDRI) Jemy V. Confido noted here on Wednesday that his company provides information and telecommunication services.

As such, it has become their duty to continue to update their products and services, so that they could become more relevant for Indonesian citizens.

The digital talent training initiative will be expanded to the Telkom Education Foundation through Telkom University.

The digital talent training comprises fundamental-level and advanced-level digital training access.

The fundamental class is held independently, with the participants determining their own learning time. The class focuses on modules that concern data and artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and Azure architect technology.

Meanwhile, the advanced class is guided by a technical trainer, with focus on digital skill-based jobs that bring added value for employees in conducting their daily tasks.

Such jobs comprise AI engineer, data engineer, data scientist, developer, and solution architect.

After having completed the relevant classes, all employees of Telkom that partook in the program could receive an international certificate from the private enterprise as a proof of their digital talent training result.

Confido expects that such training, in collaboration with Microsoft, could make Telkom's movement and services more agile and flexible as well as prioritize innovation creation through cloud and AI technology.
