Telkom Startup Started Online Course
Started digitally guided PT Telkom, Arkademy trying to erode the gap of competence of high school / vocational school graduates with the industry by holding an online course of information technology.
According to Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), Arfiyah Citra Eka Dewi, he received a positive response. For example from other pioneering companies Helio.id and Lapaktani.id, which recruited the graduates of the online course.
"Our graduates are recruited by the company because they consider their competence and qualifications to meet the needs of the industry and there are other startups that become partners of Arkademy partners," Arfiyah told reporters on Tuesday (29/5).
According to Arfiyah, a school partner like SMK Telkom Malang, his teachers rate Arkademy able to provide IoT content (Internet of Thing). In addition, programming language that suits the needs of the industry is easily understood while providing a portfolio of useful work for students.
Arfiyah said, with very affordable subscription fees, it offers learning content, job distribution for vocational graduates, teacher training and certification, factory teaching, to Olympus (application analysis and skills assessment of SMK students).
"We provide course content that the industry needs," he said.
Arfiyah rate, previously why many graduates of high school and vocational school unemployed, because of the competency gap. That is, in school taught html, css, php, whereas in the industry it's basic ability and need that react mind laravel, react. redux, and react Javascript.
In addition, he said, students also do not have the opportunity to work on industrial orders as usual found in college. So they do not have a portfolio of projects that are useful for his later career.
"We are confident about the future of Arkademy, and we are continuing to promote our services not only to SMK but also to universities and even individuals who want to learn technology, especially programming, IoT, big data and software defined network," he said.
