n 2018, EKONID followed its track of creating and
showcasing new Training and Education services
and projects. Amongst others, the Chamber officially
launched its new ICCQ Business Seminar Platform (www.
iccq.id) including a booking tool combined with the
Seminar Calendar allowing personnel of companies
and other interested entities to directly register for
participation.
Moreover, EKONID not only issued the final certificates
for successful Indonesian apprentices of the first German
standard Dual Vocational Education class that had been
started in 2015. The Chamber also started a corresponding
program in a new, additional profession in 2018.
Further, EKONID commenced its activities as an
official representation of the Senior Experts Service
(SES) in Indonesia, the Foundation of German Industry
for International Cooperation with the largest German
volunteer placement organization for retired skilled and
management professionals (Senior Experts).
In the implementation of its Training and Education
services, EKONID is partly supported by the “Skills Experts
Program” of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and
Energy (BMWi) in cooperation with the Association of
German Chambers of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) as
well as the “ExperTS Program” of the Federal Ministry for
Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
