According to the special SKK, there will be different competencies for drivers for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), feeder buses, and microTrans services.

Jakarta Region-owned transportation services provider PT Transportasi Jakarta (TransJakarta) will run a pilot school called TransJakarta Bus Academy in 2022 with 30 participants following the completion of the special Work Competency Standards (SKK).

Director of Finance and Corporate Planning of TransJakarta Welfizon Yuza said that the company has completed the special SKK and developed a learning syllabus based on the needs of the drivers.

“At the initial stage, it is estimated that there will be 30 drivers who will learn based on the new module, according to the special SKK that we have compiled,” he confirmed here on Saturday.

The TransJakarta Bus Academy will serve as a special school for drivers who are working or will be recruited by the company to improve their competence and attitude.

In addition to providing comprehensive basic education to drivers, the launch of the school is aimed at improving passenger safety.

The director said that all drivers employed by TransJakarta have already obtained certification, in accordance with the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards (SKKNI).

However, the competencies obtained from the SKKNI are not sufficient to support the work of the drivers since they are required to operate various kinds of vehicles.
