This comprehensive on-the-job training initiative is the first of its kind in Indonesia, featuring a world-class curriculum designed to cultivate Indonesia’s next generation of tech leaders.
“The technology industry is one of the key drivers of Indonesia’s digital economic growth.

Nearly 200 graduates from Indonesia’s leading universities, including the University of Indonesia, Institute of Technology Bandung and Gadjah Mada University participated in the GoTo APM Bootcamp’s selection process, before 10 shortlisted applicants were onboarded into the program. The final 10 participants will be employed full-time at Gojek, GoTo’s on-demand services unit.
The GoTo APM Bootcamp is an 18-month program that encompasses a blend of training, coaching and mentorship as participants learn their roles as full-time product managers within GoTo. They will work with cross-functional teams to launch impactful projects across various sectors including transportation, food and logistics, as well as in various disciplines such as product development, UI/UX design, research and engineering and data fields.

I hope the GoTo APM Bootcamp Program will ignite the passion of these future tech leaders to build unique products for Indonesia and continue striving for the nation’s advancement,” said Vikrama.
