MITRA 5.0 program focus

"MITRA 5.0" is a four-week capacity building initiative co-developed by Monash University, Indonesia and Traveloka Academy as our pilot program. The name "MITRA" stands for "Monash University, Indonesia and Traveloka Academy", and "5.0" indicates that this program focuses on digital and technology, in which industry 5.0 refers to the fifth industrial revolution, a forward-facing preparation the human race needs to be ready for – as the world is increasingly relying on 4.0 technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Big Data (BD), digital platforms among others – in which the interaction and collaboration between man and machine has becoming more integrated and value-driven.

Our hope is that by working with Indonesian universities and academics to experience the real industry challenges, together we can discover the existing gaps between the Tech industry and universities, and for the program participants to build industry-relevant content that could be implemented effectively in universities.

Why focusing on a digital product development program?

Indonesia will welcome the “Golden Indonesia” in 2045, where the productive age will group the majority population of Indonesia. Employment fields will be widely opened, and improvement on the quality of human resources of younger and productive generation should be a top priority.

The internet and mobile platform economy in Indonesia is estimated to grow rapidly, boosted by growth in e-commerce and supportive regulatory framework. With the hypergrowth of Indonesia's start-ups and Tech scene in the past decade, innovation in the digital product development have been on the rise and some have even been exported overseas, contributing significantly to Indonesia's digital economic growth and putting Indonesia on the map of the global Tech scene.

Opportunity as such should also be supported by excellent digital talents, and Indonesia (as other countries) is also facing shortage of digital talents especially to meet the Indonesian government’s objective in reaching the 9 million digital talents by 2030. Therefore, Monash University Indonesia and Traveloka Academy work hand-in-hand to support the Indonesian government by co-developing a capacity building program for academics to be exposed to the Tech industry's expectation with the hope for building the bridge to prepare and produce excellent digital talents.

This program will be relevant to Indonesian academics particularly those who want to actively take part in and contributing to bridging the gaps between Tech industry with tertiary education syllabus. During the program, the academics will experience the practical knowledge and examine real case studies in technology company, specifically in areas of product development from the data science, engineering, digital product design, and product management perspectives.

MITRA 5.0 curriculum's expected outcomes

The expected outcomes for academic participants from the fields of Engineering / Computer Science / Information Technology (including Data Science); Business / Economics / Social Sciences; and Design :

1. Academics to gain an overview of how a technology company in Indonesia like Traveloka works in developing a digital platform.
2. Academics to be exposed to the collaborative working approaches among its multi-disciplinary roles in addressing the problem space to meet customer latent needs with technological platform solutions.
3. Academics to gain the experience of practising the agile and design thinking approaches used along the digital product development journey.
4. With the above exposure and understanding, Academics can advocate for influencing curriculum, syllabus, and pedagogical iteration that bridge the academic preparation with industry expectation to address the Tech industry’s talent and skills needs.
5. For the Academics to meet other participants so they could form their own community of practice to continue advocating and supporting each other in contributing to the mission of preparing the 9 million digital talents by 2030.

Program approaches

Modules may be delivered as in-person presentation, online webinar, online break-out room discussions, and online facilitated discussions. Academic participants will be expected to commit throughout the 4-weeks program duration and its sessions, and to complete any pre-read/watch materials.

Content materials will be written in English. Sessions may be conducted in English, Indonesian, and/or mixed English and Indonesian.

Academic participants are expected to practise reflective writing at least once a week. These reflections are meant for recalling the program content, self-reviewing materials at own pace, and to note down any questions to be asked in the next sessions.

Optional: participants can also publish their reflective writing and experience sharing on social media, personal / organisation blog, and if allowed, on this website for future batches' documentation and references.

  • Academics to be exposed to the collaborative working approaches among its multi-disciplinary roles in addressing the problem space to meet customer latent needs with technological platform solutions.
  • Academics to gain the experience of practising the agile and design thinking approaches used along the digital product development journey.
  • With the above exposure and understanding, Academics can advocate for influencing curriculum, syllabus, and pedagogical iteration that bridge the academic preparation with industry expectation to address the Tech industry’s talent and skills needs.
  • For the Academics to meet other participants so they could form their own community of practice to continue advocating and supporting each other in contributing to the mission of preparing the 9 million digital talents by 2030.
• I just curious with this program impact toward Indonesia human capital development. Especially for all Indonesian people with lower income?  This program will be relevant to Indonesian academics particularly those who want to actively take part in and contributing to bridging the gaps between Tech industry with tertiary education syllabus. During the program, the academics will experience the practical knowledge and examine real case studies in technology company, specifically in areas of product development from the data science, engineering, digital product design, and product management perspectives.
  We believe that if the lecturer participants are exposed to how the Tech industry like Traveloka works, they could advocate to their University’s curriculum, syllabus, and learning & teaching approaches to bridge the skill and knowledge gaps, therefor preparing the graduates to be more “workforce-ready” to join the Tech industry. Hopefully by providing wider access to lecturers across Indonesia, any students regardless of their income status could indirectly benefit from this program.

• What are the benefits that are achieved by Monash and Traveloka by organizing the event? As Monash University Indonesia and Traveloka Academy have signed a non-profit MoU for MITRA 5.0 pilot program, we hope to benefit from getting to know fellow academics as the start to build relationships of what hopefully could be an ongoing community of practise as part of the triple helix collaboration.

Together, for the near to mid term, we hope to building the bridge for Academics to prepare and produce excellent digital talents to help strengthen the Indonesian tech ecosystem and digital economy.
