Signing Memorandum of Understanding, Daikin Again Supports Government to Improve Competence of Experts in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineering

Jakarta, December 13 - Not only focusing on innovation and marketing of its air conditioning solutions in Indonesia, PT. Daikin Airconditioning Indonesia also participates in the government's efforts to improve the quality of the workforce. The latest, this Japanese manufacturer is committed to supporting the government to improve the quality of refrigeration and air conditioning engineering experts in Indonesia.

This was done through the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia on Monday (13/12). Conducted under the Directorate General of Vocational Training and Productivity of the Ministry of Manpower, this signing was carried out together with 14 companies from various industries.

However, Daikin is the only company in the air conditioning solution industry that takes part in this collaboration. "As a leader in air conditioning solutions, it is our responsibility to take a bigger role in sharing Daikin's knowledge to improve Indonesia's human resources," said Budi Mulia, Director of PT Daikin Airconditioning Indonesia.

Daikin's commitment in supporting the improvement of Indonesia's human resources, especially refrigeration and air conditioning techniques, is actually not the first time. Previously, the company, which is known for its various air conditioning products for homes and commercial buildings, has also been noted to have collaborated with the Ministry of Education and Culture. This is specifically to improve the competence in the field of refrigeration and air conditioning engineering for Vocational High School (SMK) students.

Unlike the previous collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Culture, the target in the memorandum of understanding between Daikin and the Ministry of Manpower is Job Training Centers throughout Indonesia. It will last for three years since it was signed, this agreement is structured covering six scopes. This includes the preparation of training needs analysis, program development, curriculum and training modules as well as the provision of training facilities and infrastructure.

Not only that, through this collaboration, Daikin also pays attention to increasing the knowledge of teaching staff as well as students. In addition to providing experts to become trainers at various vocational training centers, the company will also provide special training for teachers at each job training center. Complementing it, Daikin will also support the implementation of various competency-based trainings.

According to Budi Mulia, Daikin's concern for continuously improving the competence of its cooling and air conditioning engineering personnel is one of the company's main focuses. Not only related to user satisfaction, according to him, the increase in competence is also related to attention to environmental protection. This is for example related to the technique of maintaining refrigerant so that it does not escape in the air which can affect the environment.

"Along with increasing the competence of experts, this collaboration is also a form of our concern for the environment in accordance with Daikin's great commitment in the various areas where it operates," said Budi Mulia. He further stated, "We hope that the synergy with the Indonesian government can develop better in the future."
