PLN Transforms Vocational School Human Resources into Teaching Factory to Boost Electric Vehicle Development
State electricity company PT PLN (Persero) has successfully driven the transformation of the practice workshop at SMK Dinamika Jakarta into a Teaching Factory for Motorcycle Engineering, in support of developing electric vehicle competencies.
General Manager of PLN’s Java, Madura and Bali Load Control Centre (PLN UIP2B Jamali), Munawwar Furqan, said that through the Electric Vehicle Conversion Upgrading programme, students not only gain more modern learning facilities.
“They are also able to improve their competencies, to the point that some teachers and students have been entrusted to become assessors for electric motorcycle conversion certification,” Munawwar said in a statement on Monday, 10 August 2026.
The transformation is a form of collaboration between the education sector and industry in preparing human resources capable of meeting the needs of the energy transition and the development of the electric vehicle ecosystem in Indonesia.
Munawwar said the potential of the younger generation will flourish when supported by the right ecosystem. According to him, synergy between education and industry is one of the keys to producing competent human resources to face future challenges.
“Seeing the school continue to grow and be able to produce graduates with recognised competencies is certainly a source of pride as well as motivation for PLN to continue delivering programmes that provide long-term benefits,” Munawwar said.
The programme was implemented by PLN UIP2B Jamali through the DKI Jakarta and Banten Load Control Unit (UP2B Jakban), by providing practical equipment assistance while opening up learning access that is more relevant to the needs of the electric vehicle industry.
The impact of the programme is now clearly visible. The practice workshop, which previously only functioned as a learning space, has developed into a Teaching Factory for Motorcycle Engineering.
Students no longer merely study the theory of electric vehicle conversion, but are now able to carry out practice according to industry standards, produce work, and build an increasingly professional work culture.
The development has even exceeded expectations. A number of teachers and students are now entrusted to be part of the electric motorcycle conversion certification assessors in Kota Duri. This achievement shows that support through the TJSL programme not only increases school capacity, but also produces recognised competencies and provides wider benefits.
