PT Jasa Armada Indonesia Tbk (IPCM), a member of state-owned port operator Pelindo Group, has introduced students to the maritime and logistics industry through an educational programme aimed at developing leadership skills and social awareness among young people.
The programme, held at SMK Negeri 4 Cilegon, reached 200 students and included lessons on port operations, career opportunities, leadership and the importance of education.
The initiative, called “Pelindo Mengajar 2026” – Pelindo Teaches 2026, was organised as part of activities marking Pelindo’s fifth anniversary and forms part of IPCM’s social and environmental responsibility programme.
IPCM President Director Dwi Rahmad Toto took part as an instructor, delivering a session on leadership and social awareness. The presentation covered the role of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in creating economic and social value, the distribution of goods from factories to consumers, and the importance of ports in facilitating trade.
Students were also introduced to the maritime logistics sector, including IPCM’s core business of providing vessel pilotage and towage services to support safe and efficient ship movements in ports.
The session also addressed skills and qualifications needed to enter the workforce, as well as career opportunities within state-owned companies.
Dwi said young people had an important role in shaping Indonesia’s future and should develop the skills and awareness needed to contribute to society.
“Working at a state-owned enterprise is not just about conducting business; it is about creating value and delivering benefits to society,” he said.
He added that the programme was intended to broaden students’ understanding of the maritime and logistics industries and encourage them to become adaptable, skilled and socially responsible workers.
In addition to the educational session, IPCM provided learning facilities and infrastructure to SMK Negeri 4 Cilegon to support teaching activities and improve the school’s learning environment.
The initiative supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 on quality education, particularly Target 4.4, which focuses on increasing technical and vocational skills relevant to employment among young people.
IPCM said its participation in the programme was part of broader efforts to support education and strengthen the capabilities of the younger generation.
“Through ‘Pelindo Mengajar,’ we aim to share more than just knowledge; we want to provide inspiration and the drive to keep learning, growing, and contributing to the nation,” Dwi said. He said developing a generation with strong character, competitiveness and social awareness was important to Indonesia’s long-term development.
