Majene, August 13, 2026 – Kaizen Collaborative Impact attended an artificial intelligence (AI) literacy session for 700 new students of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at the University of West Sulawesi (Unsulbar). The activity was held as part of the 2026 Campus Life Introduction for New Students (PKKMB) program to equip future educators with future-ready technological competencies.
This digital literacy strengthening session featured Muh. Iqbal Gunawan, AIM ASEAN Master Trainer from Kaizen Collaborative Impact, as a panelist, alongside faculty leadership, including the Vice Dean for Academic and Student Affairs, Dr. Nur Aisyah Humairah, S.Si., M.Pd., and the Vice Dean for Student Affairs and Cooperation, Amrang, S.Pd., M.Pd.
The training focused on developing new students' foundational thinking in understanding AI's role in the academic environment. Students were given a basic understanding of AI to enhance learning productivity, with a strong emphasis on ethics and digital responsibility to ensure technology is used productively without compromising intellectual integrity.
A key highlight of this program was the use of AI to support the economic sector through Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Students were trained to use AI tools for market analysis, digital marketing automation, and improving customer service quality. Additionally, the session demonstrated practical AI applications in creating promotional content to boost the competitiveness of local entrepreneurs.
This activity is part of the collaboration between Kaizen Collaborative Impact and FKIP at the University of West Sulawesi, established since November 2025, to implement the AIM ASEAN program (AI for MSME Advancement in ASEAN) on campus. Through this cross-sector collaboration, FKIP Unsulbar students are prepared to serve as technology bridges for local communities and entrepreneurs in West Sulawesi, fostering inclusive and sustainable digital transformation.
