East Jakarta City Government Strengthens Innovation and Business Skills for Vocational Students
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The East Jakarta municipal government is strengthening innovation and industry-based learning facilities for students of vocational high schools (SMK).
“The inauguration of the Teaching Factory (TeFa) D’Preneur Coffee and Mart at SMK Dinamika Pembangunan 2 Jakarta is not merely a practice venue for students, but an industry-based learning facility that provides real experience in managing a business,” said East Jakarta Mayor Munjirin in Penggilingan, Cakung, East Jakarta, on Thursday.
The D’Preneur Coffee and Mart Teaching Factory forms part of government assistance through the 2025 Excellence Vocational School Programme, which applies the link and match partnership concept with the business and industrial worlds.
The programme is realised through curriculum alignment, competency certification, and direct work practice for students.
According to Munjirin, the Teaching Factory also provides hands-on experience in serving customers, maintaining product quality, and building an entrepreneurial spirit.
“Through this facility, it is hoped that graduates of SMK Dinamika Pembangunan 2 will possess outstanding competencies, strong character, adaptability and innovation, and be ready to compete in the world of work as well as capable of creating jobs,” said Munjirin.
Furthermore, he invited the entire school community to take an active role in protecting the environment by following up on DKI Jakarta Governor’s Instruction Number 5 of 2026 on the Waste Sorting and Processing from Source Movement.
The movement is an important step in reducing waste volume through resource management starting at the source.
The inauguration was also attended by the head of the Al-Wathoniyah Asshodriyah 9 Foundation, KH Ahmad Shodri, a representative of the DKI Jakarta Education Office, Erni Nawarni, Risk Mitigation and Legal Advocacy Expert Acep Edy Setiawan, Cakung Subdistrict Head Rohmad, and the village heads across Cakung Subdistrict.
