Supporting Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Bank Jakarta Provides Training Assistance

Access to job training for persons with disabilities remains a challenge in promoting economic independence. Support for facilities and skill enhancement is deemed essential to expand employment opportunities for vulnerable groups.

Bank Jakarta has channelled assistance for training support to persons with disabilities mentored by the Indonesian Disability Solidarity Foundation (YaSDI). The handover was conducted by Bank Jakarta’s Compliance Director Ateng Rivai to YaSDI’s Board Chairman Suty Karno at the East Jakarta Regional Work Training Centre (PPKD), Duren Sawit, on Friday (24/4/2026).

Ateng stated that the assistance aims to broaden access to training and improve the competitiveness of persons with disabilities in the workforce. “This support is a form of our concern for our friends with disabilities to have better access to training, skills, and opportunities for independence,” said Ateng in a press release on Saturday (25/4/2026).

Ateng added that empowering persons with disabilities is crucial for driving inclusive development. Bank Jakarta, he said, will continue to collaborate with various parties to ensure a sustainable empowerment ecosystem.

YaSDI’s Board Chairman Suty Karno welcomed the assistance positively, as it is seen to strengthen the capacity of training participants. “This assistance is very meaningful in supporting training facilities and reinforcing the empowerment programmes we run for our friends with disabilities,” said Suty.

YaSDI actively conducts job training, social activities, and advocacy for persons with disabilities. These programmes target skill improvement while opening wider employment opportunities.

Bank Jakarta’s Corporate Secretary Arie Rinaldi stated that the activity reaffirms the company’s commitment to delivering social benefits.

“This activity is expected to strengthen care, collaboration, and community empowerment, including the disability group as an important part of inclusive development,” said Arie.
