In the activity with the theme "Roadmap for Preparing Quality Human Resources to Drive Transformation Towards a Golden Indonesia 2045", the Chair of the Indonesian Public Policy Society or MAKPI explained about the preparation of quality human resources in the era of digital transformation.
The public policy expert said that digital talent is skills and abilities related to the use of technology and digital platforms in various fields.
There are several ways to increase digital talent for students, including continuing to hone critical thinking and implementation of the memorizing system. In this way, innovation and new ideas from superior digital talents can be achieved by students towards a Golden Indonesia 2045.
“Now digital skills are a demand. Because, everything can be digitalized. "Students must continue to train themselves to make reliable decisions by improving the quality of thinking, trust, teamwork, innovation, speed and quality of opinion," he said.
This digital talent is important for Indonesia, especially for the development of the digital economy. Based on data from the Republic of Indonesia's Ministry of Information last year alone, Indonesia lacks around 400-500 thousand digital talents per year.

Meanwhile, Hatta Perdana, Assistant Vice President for Digital Regulation from Telcom Group, in the introductory session explained about the digital government system . According to him, the importance of implementing digital government will bring real changes to everyday life.
For example, community involvement in the field of government administration, so that people can be directly involved and become more open.
Students, continued Hatta Perdana, are expected to be able to increase their digital talents, one of which is through the Indonesia Telecommunication and Digital Research Institute (ITDRI) which was introduced by PT Telkom Indonesia.
"The goal is for Indonesia to develop and support Indonesia's empowerment, increase innovation index and building a strong digital ecosystem, and producing superior digital talent," he said.
