Expanding the Ecosystem, Asbisindo and Vocasia Target Integrated Property Sector
JAKARTA - Having successfully orchestrated the competencies of tens of thousands of Islamic bankers, the collaboration between Asbisindo Institute and the edutech platform Vocasia is now beginning to spread its wings into the real sector. In its strategic development, this digital learning platform is targeting the property sector as part of a broader economic ecosystem. This initiative is designed to address digitalisation challenges and meet the strict standards of the Financial Services Authority (OJK). Although the current main focus is strengthening the capacity of 50,000 Islamic bankers, Farid Subkhan, Chairman of Vocasia, stated that this learning technology is highly flexible and scalable. This allows the edutech platform to form partnerships with other strategic sectors, including the property industry. Farid revealed that in the near future, they will collaborate with integrated property companies to apply a similar learning model. This step marks an important shift where the property sector, particularly those embracing eco-resort concepts, requires proficient human resource standardisation through a well-orchestrated e-learning system. The launch of this platform is a direct response to the directives of Bank Syariah Indonesia’s Chief Commissioner, Muliaman Darmansyah Hadad, who highlighted the digital gap in human resource development. As a technology provider, the platform ensures 24/7 learning infrastructure, complete with content production studio facilities. Meanwhile, Asbisindo Institute acts as the guardian of the substantive material. “Our presence is to help orchestrate Islamic banking professionals within one e-learning platform. Vocasia acts as a serious technology provider managing the platform and content production facilities, while Asbisindo focuses on competency substance,” explained Farid. “Bankers have high workloads, so we develop more flexible learning methods in the modern era. Everything is digital 24/7. Although app-based, we still ensure facilitator and material standards through strict reviews with the Sharia Finance LSP,” stated Wahyu. In the initial stage, the platform is focused on the Risk Management Certification Maintenance Programme (PPSMR) Levels 4 to 6. However, for director level (Level 7), training remains offline to maintain strategic interaction depth. The General Chairman of the Indonesian Islamic Banks Association (Asbisindo), Anggoro Eko Cahyo, who also serves as President Director of Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI), added the importance of boundless access to knowledge. “Utilising learning technology becomes an important means to access knowledge without limits of space and time. This platform is a scalable knowledge-sharing vessel aligned with the evolving industry needs,” concluded Anggoro.
