The two institutions formalized the partnership with the signing of an agreement on the integration and use of the National Talent Management Data in Jakarta on Friday (March 6), according to a statement received on Saturday.
PPN Minister Rachmat Pambudy emphasized the need for Indonesia to intensify efforts to build the capacity of its talents by fostering a more supportive ecosystem to keep pace with increasingly fierce global competition.
He noted that the quality of human capital is as crucial as geographical features and natural resources for a nation to thrive.
On that note, the minister stressed that Indonesia should begin shifting its approach to talent development from a sporadic, undirected model to one grounded in education and science.
“It is vital to support national talent development initiatives with efforts to nurture an ecosystem built on education, research, and innovation,” Pambudy affirmed.
Meanwhile, Acting SecretaryGeneral of the Higher Education Ministry Badri Munir Sukoco explained that the data integration cooperation represents a strategic step toward strengthening campus contributions to human resource development through research and innovation.
“We are convinced that many lecturers and students, from undergraduate to doctoral programs, will contribute to the advancement of national talent management,” Sukoco said.
The official expressed hope that data integration would support national development plans and make capacity building initiatives better targeted and more data driven.
This cooperation reflects the ministry’s commitment to making higher education, science, and technology more impactful to society, positioning them as strategic instruments of national development in support of the Golden Indonesia 2045 vision.
