Binar Academy Holds Digital Talent Accelerator & Job Connect, Connects Companies and Digital Talents

The digital economy in Indonesia is growing the fastest compared to other sectors. According to data presented in a press release, the digital economy in the country will reach US$124 billion in 2025, up from US$44 billion in 2020.

This growth is quite encouraging because it was achieved when the world was still in difficult conditions facing the Covid-10 pandemic. Digital economic growth is projected at 10% in 2020. Therefore, there is an increase in business competition between companies and to continue to compete, companies are required to transform digitally. Several reports suggest that Human Resources (HR) is the second highest barrier to digital transformation because some companies still have HR that is not digitally oriented.

As one of the concrete solutions, Binar Academy held a Digital Talent Accelerator and Job Connect. The Digital Talent Accelerator event is expected to improve the capabilities of internal employees, especially in the digital field. Whereas Job Connect designed to make it easier for companies to get new digital talent that will be useful to meet their business needs.

“Currently, several companies are faced with several problems regarding their human resources. That's why we are here, helping companies digitally transform from the HR side because we believe HR is the main key to driving digital transformation. With a passion to create a positive impact through Digital Talent Accelerator, Binar Academy is committed to producing digital talents to enter the digital industry which is currently booming,” said Alamanda Shantika - CEO of Binar Academy.
