One of our recent event, Binar Academy showcase day

Many of you might known that Binar Academy is the full tech scholarship academy with no tuition fee at all to teach someone build a mobile app in a team.

We have several focus study such as Android, iOS, Backend, Product Management & UI/UX program. Within 3 months or so, we taught our students to build an app in a real life situation;

Tight deadline, internal team conflict, real product showcase

Then, if Binar Academy is free, how does Binar makes money?

Many people asked a lot about this;

“How do Binar Academy makes money?”

Well, we are not just an academy, we are more than that. We are building an ecosystem.

Provide Human Capabilities

It is true that now we are having talent deficiency especially on technology sector.

We are solving this issue by giving a full scholarship that helps the talent to enhance their ability and bridge the gap between formal education sector & industrial needs.

Transforming Business Digitally

We equipped people with industrial knowledge for digital industry, enable company to hire and build technology empire through Binar Career Hub, and are we done yet? nope. We don’t stop there!

Every company nowadays are talking about “Digital Transformation” or “Digitalization”, whereas some companies even revamp their business model for that. But, many of them take it wrong.

Myth about digital transformation

Many of companies come to us and said that they need to transform their company digitally by creating a mobile app or website.

“Mobile app or website is just a channel, a company should platformized their business to transform their business digitally!”

It’s all about innovation! All about integrating the business operations and deliver the best customer experience.

Through out our prior experience on a giant digital company like GO-JEK, we decode its digital process and journey, and implement the knowledge on our partners company who wants to transform their business digitally.

Building digital ecosystem

Long story short, what are we doing? We are building a digital ecosystem in Indonesia through full-scholarship tech-academy, providing tech-engineers & advising digital transformation.

We are aiming to leverage and increase the quality of human capital to become more adaptable with technology changes

“Why am I telling this?”

Some of you might ask.

Simple, I want us to collaborate.

Are you a coding school like Purwadika or Hactiv8? or headhunters like GeekHunter? or even consultancy service for specific skill set like uxmarker? We are not your competitor. Hence, we are fostering collaboration because that’s our main D.N.A. in Binar Academy

Your company wants to be part of this changes? sure, you can hire engineers through Binar Career Hub like our partners or collaborate with us like Kitabisa.com, Citigroup Inc. and ADIDAS.

Together, let’s transform the industrial landscape into digitally adapt. No more disruption.

Quoting what Alamanda Shantika always said;

“We’ve disrupted things back then, and now, we want to disrupt the disruptor!”
