Alliance (IGI), 2001-2010

Core challenge:

The supply of qualified staff and technical

know-how in Indonesia is insufficient to

fuel the economic growth.

Approach:

• Systematic capacity development on

political level and within 22 TVET

institutes (IGI Institutes)

• Sustainability through establishment of

long-term coordination offices between

IGI institutes and cooperation with non

IGI-Institutions

• PPPs with Lufapak and TÜV Rheinland

• Modernisation of equipment through a

financial cooperation module

Some potential benefits of Regional Cooperation

between TVET Institutes of Excellence: G-Institutes (I)

For Centers:

Quality Assurance for High-Tech Training and Services (common standards, ISO

certification,..): G-Institutions as “Centers of Excellence” in the region

Possibility to share experiences and best-practice examples/approaches to training,

production and consultancy

Exchange of students/learners: Extended capacity, better use of resources

Increased business opportunities (consultancy, products, training in the region)

Common platform (Internet, fairs, conferences) and corporate identity

Keeping the “G” alive (better access to Germany, German companies, German

expertise, German technology, German institutes)

Marketing of products and services: Brand “G-Institute” sells

Regional cooperation (regional certification, transferability of awards, …)

Closer link to Industry: “G” Institutions as contact point for Industry (local, regional,

German, international)

Easier establishment of PPP

Page 16Page 16

Some potential benefits of Regional Cooperation

between TVET Institutes of Excellence: G-Institutes (II)

For Companies:

“Window” for their products/machines

Availability of well-trained personnel for their companies or branch offices in the region

Supply of products (parts) to companies through production units in “G” institutes

Easier establishment of PPP

Access to well-trained students/learners for job attachments in their company

…

For Centers (cont.):

Easier exchange and adaption of material (learning material, curricula,…)

Training of personnel (trainers,…) and multipliers for the region

Easier job attachment of students/learners

Common use of new teaching/learning technology (e-learning/blended learning)

…

Three Take Aways

1. Bilateral, trilateral and regional programmes offer an excellent

basis for internationalisation and harmonisation for TVET in the

SEA Region.

2. Networking of TVET Institutes of Excellence amongst each other,

in a country or the region, is per-se a nice idea, but it needs a well-

considered concept, coordination, business plan, financial basis

and clear incentives for all partners involved in order to live and

survive.

3. Regional conferences are a beautiful opportunity to meet a lot of

interesting people from different countries and backgrounds and to

get new insights from various presentations. But the best forum for

establishing real cooperations are (still) the coffee breaks.
