TMMIN Expands 'Vocational School Development' to Two SMKs in Denpasar

PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) has expanded its Vocational School Development programme to Bali Province by donating engine training aids featuring the latest vehicle technology to SMKN 1 Denpasar and SMK Rekayasa Denpasar.

TMMIN President Director Nandi Julyanto, speaking at the handover ceremony at SMKN 1 Denpasar, Bali, on Friday, said the move reflects industry involvement in supporting vocational education through sustained cooperation with educational institutions.

“The best investment for industry is investment in people. That is why we see vocational schools as a space to cultivate both the competence and character of future industry talent,” said Nandi.

One Toyota 2TR petrol engine was handed over to SMKN 1 Denpasar, while one Toyota 2GD diesel engine was given to SMK Rekayasa Denpasar.

Nandi said the donation of training aids is expected to support practical learning for students in the Automotive Light Vehicle Engineering (TKRO) programme at both schools, particularly in understanding current vehicle technology and improving their readiness in line with industry developments.

The donation forms part of the expansion of TMMIN’s Vocational School Development programme, which has been running since 2017 and now reaches 30 partner vocational schools across West Java, East Java, Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta.

In 2026, TMMIN is extending the programme to Bali and Lombok by adding four new partner schools, bringing the national total to 34.

The expansion also marks the programme’s first presence in Bali Province, with SMKN 1 Denpasar and SMK Rekayasa Denpasar as its first partner schools.

“Through learning facility support and sustained collaboration, we hope more vocational school graduates will be ready to adapt to technological developments and make a real contribution to the progress of the national industry,” said Nandi.
