RMIT strengthens ties in Indonesia to upskill workforce in cyber resilience

RMIT University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Indonesia’s Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Infinite Learning and Innova8 to deliver cyber safety and resilience training programs for Indonesia's workforce development.

RMIT will deliver a bespoke cyber security program designed to upskill and equip professionals with the essential skills they need in cyber security to safeguard networks and its broader implications, supporting the region to meet the demands of a modern digital economy and advancing best practices.

This collaboration builds on RMIT’s decades-long partnerships in the region, highlighting our expanded presence in the Asia-Pacific and ongoing focus on addressing critical workforce skills gaps.

The MoU was signed during a visit to Indonesia by Mish Eastman, RMIT Deputy Vice-Chancellor Vocational Education and Vice-President, and Saskia Loer Hansen, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President International and Engagement.

Eastman said the partnership highlights RMIT’s ongoing commitment to offering in-demand, relevant training offshore and engaging in innovative leadership dialogues with key partners in Indonesia. 

“By leveraging RMIT’s expertise, we are creating a tailored solution to enhance workforce productivity and cyber resilience in the Southeast Asia region,” said Eastman.

“We are opening the world of cyber security to industry professionals, teaching them essential principles to protect networks and understand its broader impact.”

Saskia Loer Hansen, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President International and Engagement, added that this partnership marks an exciting step in educating local talent to support the cyber resilience of the digital sector.

“RMIT is partnering across Southeast Asia to respond to workforce needs to deliver industry connected and innovative learning solutions and experiences.”   

This new MoU builds on the existing relationship we’ve built over the years, including delivering short courses in cyber security at Nongsa Digital Park in Indonesia as part of a strategic partnership signed between our two institutions in 2021.
