To provide students with information about how to join the GoTo Bootcamp program, GoTo will conduct road shows on various campuses. These include the University of Indonesia, Bandung Institute of Technology, Gajah Mada University, Binus University, Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology, Brawijaya University and the Bali Institute of Technology and Business and many more.

GoTo presence in shaping Indonesia’s digital landscape

As a homegrown tech ecosystem that thrives for Indonesia (#KaryaAnakBangsa #BerjuangUntukIndonesia), GoTo takes an active role in driving the acceleration of the digital transformation in Indonesia.

Aside from GoTo Engineering Bootcamp, GoTo recently launched GoTo APM Bootcamp, a comprehensive on-the-job training program for product managers with a world-class curriculum well designed to support and accelerate the development of local tech talent.

LPEM UI's research conducted between 2018 and 2023 showed that on average, the presence of GoTo at the city/regency level increases the number of digitally savvy workers by 2.2 to 3.1 percent.

LPEM researcher Prani Sastiono stated, “Technology companies like GoTo play a strategic role in enhancing digital literacy and talent in Indonesia. Initiative like this bootcamp is crucial not only for the company but also for the overall digital ecosystem in Indonesia. Beside fostering digital talent, aligned with our research findings, digital platforms like GoTo can also drive the growth of technopreneurs by inspiring, networking, cultivating a business mindset, and equipping technical skills. Many GoTo alumni have gone on to become new technopreneurs and establish new technology companies,” she added.

Unquestionably, GoTo Engineering Bootcamp reflects GoTo’s strong commitment to empowering Indonesian talent, transforming them into the next generation of tech leaders, well aligned with Indonesia’s flourishing digital economy that requires more digital talent.
