On July 9, 2025, the second batch of students from the Bayer-EKONID Vocational Mechatronics Training Program officially graduated. Of the 16 total participants, eight have been recruited by Bayer Indonesia.
The vocational training program is part of the German Dual Vocational Education and Training (GDVET) initiative and is conducted in cooperation with SMK Negeri 56 Jakarta Utara. This marks the completion of the second batch, which began in 2022. The first batch ran from 2019 to 2022 with 14 students, several of whom continue to work at Bayer, while others have pursued further education or found employment elsewhere.
Following their graduation, the first batch was assigned to a special task force for a Bayer project, providing hands-on industry experience. The second batch has shown similarly promising outcomes—not only through the recruitment of eight graduates by Bayer, but also through the success of other graduates in securing positions elsewhere or continuing their studies.
