As Indonesia faces a growing labor force and a dynamic digital economy, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (Indosat) and the Wadhwani Foundation (WF) have launched a nationwide AI-powered training platform aimed at preparing the country’s youth for employment in the digital era.
The initiative, announced on May 6, 2025, is available through Indosat’s consumer apps myIM3 and bima+, ensuring scalable access across the country.
This effort directly responds to Indonesia’s 2025 labor statistics, which report over 7.4 million active job seekers, many of whom lack the digital competencies required in today’s evolving job market.
Accessible Digital Training via Mobile Integration
The training content is embedded into the myIM3 and bima+ apps—platforms already familiar to Indosat’s user base.
This approach eliminates barriers such as infrastructure limitations, cost, or geographic constraints, and allows for anytime, anywhere access to career-building content.
• Mobile-first access strategy through established telecom apps
• Inclusive reach across urban and rural communities
• Courses tailored to high-demand digital and professional skills
Strategic Promotion through Youth Engagement Channels
Indosat is leveraging its popular brand platforms to promote the initiative. Its IM3 brand will embed the training into its Collabonation program a flagship youth engagement campaign while its Tri brand will integrate the program with its lifestyle-oriented Generasi Happy platform.
These channels will not only raise awareness but also foster community engagement around digital learning and career development.
Executive Perspectives on Inclusive Empowerment
“The youth are key to building an inclusive and sustainable future. At IOH we believe that no one should be left behind. With this initiative, we are committed to developing the digital skills of Indonesians, wherever they are. This aligns with Indosat’s larger goal of empowering Indonesia.”— Vikram Sinha, President Director and CEO, Indosat
“The collaboration with Indosat is a tangible manifestation of our commitment to create social change through skills empowerment through Wadhwani Skilling Network (WSN) and entrepreneurship through Wadhwani Entrepreneurship Network (WEN). We believe that digital empowerment must reach the wider community, and technology is key to making that happen. The collaboration with Indosat allows us to reach millions of users directly and provide access to learning easily, quickly and effectively.”— Ajay Kela, President and CEO, Wadhwani Foundation
Strengthening Indonesia’s Vision 2045 Goals
This public-private initiative contributes directly to Indonesia Vision 2045, the national strategy aimed at transforming the country into a globally competitive, innovation-led economy by its centennial year.
The focus on digital inclusion, equitable skill development, and economic participation makes this program a foundational step toward achieving that long-term goal.
In addition to direct-to-consumer access via mobile, the program will also expand into academic institutions, enabling broader reach through partnerships with universities and schools nationwide.
• Supports national transformation through skill-based employment
• Enables institutions to adopt scalable digital learning frameworks
• Builds a foundation for long-term digital workforce development
The AI-based training program launched by Indosat and the Wadhwani Foundation is more than a skilling initiative—it is a strategic intervention aimed at reshaping how Indonesia prepares its youth for the digital economy.
By combining mobile accessibility with high-quality, market-driven content, the program addresses both immediate employability challenges and long-term economic development goals.
