- AKKNI competency modules
Nationally recognised units at USD 10
- BBNSP & LPK certification
Trusted, verifiable digital credentials
From invention
to employment.
Nusantara Digital University is the AI-powered digital university that connects students with the companies that hire them, through assessed, consented competencies no CV can show.
The problem
Research and talent stay invisible to industry
young Indonesians reach university
of graduates lack the competencies their employer needs
of employers name skills gaps as a barrier to transformation
The gap: research that never becomes a patent, and graduates whose skills no employer can see. Employers have no verified view of either, so they cannot buy what campuses produce.
The solution
Every partner campus feeds two verified national maps
- IP Centre
- AI Research Group
- NDU talent & assessment node
Disclosures, patents and AI prototypes via Paten.ai
Assessed, consented competencies of students and workers
Two budgets, one relationship
- R&D / IP budget
- Training / hiring budget
Structure: PT i-KAN is the parent company. Nusantara Digital University operates beneath it as the talent and education arm, supported by PT i-KAN.
The core · NDU Talent Map
Connecting students with companies
Students pay to be mapped. Employers pay to have their workforce mapped and to search the map for people they can hire. Each new employer improves the demand side; each new learner expands the supply side. The two sides of the skills gap finally see each other, because an assessed competency describes what a person can do, where a transcript cannot.
Students & workers
