The training was delivered in two batches on 24 August 2021 for the first batch and on 31 August 2021 for the second batch. In the official release from the Group’s field supervisor (DPL), Dr. Eng. Kusumaningdyah Nurul Handayani explained that the training was conducted based on the development that demands the young generation to think creatively, innovatively, and adaptively. Therefore, to follow the development, design skills are viewed as an added value. The training is essential for the local young generation because most digital era activities need design skills.
