“Through implementing the Teaching Factory (TeFa) learning method, with 70% contextual practice and 30% theory, students are equipped with skills that align with industry needs. It is hoped that this method will provide real benefits for students by building relevant competencies that can be applied in the workforce,” said UT’s Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, Himawan Sutanto.
TeFa is a concrete manifestation of the Company’s commitment to supporting the development of vocational education in Indonesia. Through the SOBAT program, the Company consistently builds synergy between industry and education to improve vocational students’ skills and readiness to compete in the job market.

This initiative is designed to equip students with relevant skills, preparing them optimally before entering the workforce.
