Indonesia - SMART
With the development of the SMART ARTiS course programme, SITECO aims to bring Swiss know-how in the railway/mobility sector to bear in various target countries, primarily in Indonesia, and to promote Swiss development cooperation in this area. At the same time, the Swiss dual training model is to be brought to bear and promoted in the target countries. The Indonesian pilot course (CAS) is intended to form the basis for further follow-up courses, which will ultimately form an MAS. The SMART ARTiS course programme for Indonesia can also serve as a model for similar development projects in other countries (multiplier effect).
Indonesia - Overview
As a result of an in-depth evaluation, SITECO chose Indonesia as location for its pilot project. The objective is to promote dual vocational education and training in line with the Swiss model in Indonesia, which itself constitutes a large emerging country with increasingly important trade and industrial relations with Switzerland.
Indonesia - S4C
SECO signed a Letter of Intent with the Indonesian Ministry of Industry in February 2017 aiming at a more intense cooperation in the field of vocational training. As a direct result, a consortium comprising Swisscontact, the Bern University of Applied Science and SITECO worked out the concept S4C Skills for Competitiveness for the build-up of 5 new Polytechnics in industrial development areas in Indonesia. In January 2018, SECO sanctioned the concept, which was followed by the conclusion of a Contract Implementation Agreement with the Consortium.
