Therefore, in its implementation, MICT plans to synergize and collaborate with campus partners to fulfil this goal.

In this socialization event, BPPTIK focused on offering cooperation in two branches of DTS which are the Vocational School Graduate Academy (VSGA) and the Digital Entrepreneurship Academy (DEA) programs with various training themes.

In the next session, the Subcoordinator of Program and Reporting, Hamdani Pratama, mentioned that DTS has three approaches to developing digital human resources, namely Digital Leadership (targeting leadership-level practitioners), Digital Skill Certification (targeting technical and professional level workers, university and vocational school students), and Non-certification Basic Digital Skills (targeting the general public).

Meanwhile, Dyah Puspito Dewi Widowati, representative from the Subprogram of Training Implementation for Public (Subprogram Penyelenggaraan Pelatihan Umum), stated that VSGA is a competency-based vocational training and ICT certification program for high school (SMK or equivalent), diploma, and bachelor graduates.

There are 6 training programs opened which are: Junior Web Developer (JWD), Junior Mobile Programmer (JMP), Intermediate Animator (IA), Junior Graphic Designer (JGD), Main Computer Network Technician (TUJK), and Junior Network Administrator (JNA).

The DTS program in 2023 has 8 academies which are: Fresh Graduate Academy (FGA), Vocational School Graduate Academy (VSGA), Thematic Academy (TA), Professional Academy (PROA), Government Transformation Academy (GTA), Digital Entrepreneurship Academy (DEA), Digital Leadership Academy (DLA), and Talent Scouting Academy (TSA).
