Humber’s International Development Institute (IDI) is excited to announce a new project in Indonesia that underlines Humber’s commitment to strengthening education systems around the world. In partnership with Applied Research and Innovation and Program Planning, Development and Renewal, IDI will be working with six Indonesian polytechnic institutions to support them in the development of Centres of Technology (COTs) on their campuses. Humber was invited to do this work because of our expertise and leadership in polytechnic education. Funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Humber will be using the train-the-trainer approach to develop each polytechnic’s capacity to design and deliver applied technical education and programming that links each institution with industries, through the creation of advisory councils and applied research opportunities.  This is the next phase of a project from last summer where Humber hosted 12 Indonesian faculty on-campus. Over the next eight months, Humber will be delivering workshops in Jakarta and visiting the selected polytechnics. Humber’s role in the project is being led in Toronto and Indonesia by Jeff May, who also led the May 2016 delegation, and has worked with Humber’s Business School on the Sulawesi Economic Development Strategy (SEDS) project in Indonesia during 2014 and 2015.
