Asian Agri Group Head of Common Services Hadi Susanto admitted to supporting the apprenticeship program of students of SMK Tanoto after the previous program for undergraduate or undergraduate level.
"It must be admitted that all companies have difficulty getting ready-made workers, so the SMK apprenticeship program is worth supporting," he said.
