Previously, we have introduced you to Tokopedia Academy and what happens behind the scenes of achieving 9 million digital talents by 2030 or, in short, the 9in9 movement. However, you might be asking: What exactly is the 9in9 movement? Why is it something that Tokopedia and Tokopedia Academy aspire for?

The 9in9 movement was initiated to support President Joko Widodo’s instruction regarding the national digital transformation in 2030. It was projected that Indonesia needs 113 million digital talents by 2030, but now, Indonesia still lacks 9 million digital talents. This number is only achievable with consistent participation and partnership between industries, universities, and learning partners.

With our innovation and technology, we believe that we can do so much more than just providing a good shopping and selling experience for our buyers and sellers. Since then, Tokopedia Academy aspires to become one of the most extensive learning grounds for Indonesia’s future digital talents and connect people in the community. To do so, Tokopedia Academy provides free learning access for aspiring and professional tech talents to upgrade their skills.

Digital talents can find more than 217 learning materials in academy.tokopedia.com with a wide range of subjects, starting from Tech, Data, Product, Product Design, and more. These materials are presented in different formats such as articles, videos, podcasts, and events.

Learning curriculums are carefully selected; some are created by Tokopedia tech experts or Tokopedia Academy’s content partners. For visual and aural learners, Tokopedia Academy has 14 active programs to participate in: START Summit, START Women in Tech, Behind Great Product, Design After Hours, DevCamp, and many others. In these events and workshops, participants can also build networks and learn at the same time.

The journey doesn’t end here. Tokopedia Academy will continue to expand its learning ground and collaborate with partners to create a tech-learning ecosystem for everyone to use. Innovation and knowledge can bring a much more significant and positive impact when it’s shared with everyone. So, together, Tokopedia Academy invites partners all around Indonesia to achieve and nurture 9 million digital talents in 9 years!
