Jambi, 5 December 2025 – In commemoration of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, IPC Terminal Petikemas (IPC TPK) organized a Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) program titled Inclusive Training to Produce Outstanding Visually Impaired Therapists (TERANG). The training, held from 3–5 December 2025 at the Jambi City Social Services Office, was attended by 16 visually impaired participants.
The program was implemented through a collaboration between IPC TPK, the Jambi City Social Services Office, and the Yayasan Keluarga Teman Kecil Jambi Foundation, with participants coming from the Indonesian Blind Association (Pertuni) of Jambi City. This synergy represents a tangible example of how companies, government, and communities can actively work together to build a more inclusive ecosystem and open equal access to empowerment for persons with disabilities. The TERANG training was conducted over a total of 15 hours of instruction, covering in-depth massage techniques for various physical complaints such as headaches, lower back pain, insomnia, body vitality, as well as the treatment of common ailments such as colds.
“The Social Services Office warmly welcomes and thanks IPC TPK for organizing this activity. We hope that similar training programs can be held again in the future to help improve the economic well-being of our friends with disabilities in Jambi, so they can manage their life paths better,” said Edriansyah, SH, MM, Secretary of the Jambi City Social Services Office.
Based on data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) in 2024, more than 17.8 million Indonesians are persons with disabilities. One-third of them have not completed basic education. In addition, the labor force participation rate of persons with disabilities in Indonesia stands at only 23.94%.
As an advanced-level training, the TERANG program was designed to deepen professional massage techniques so participants can deliver higher-quality, more competitive services with greater economic value. To strengthen post-program independence, IPC TPK also provided work equipment support in the form of massage beds, massage oil, massage cream, and massage cloths, enabling participants to immediately develop independent practice. In addition, participants received training certificates issued by the Jambi City Social Services Office. This facilitation is part of the company’s commitment to creating sustainable social impact through the empowerment of vulnerable groups.
“The TERANG program is not just about training, but about opening wider opportunities for persons with disabilities to enhance their capacity and economic independence. We hope these advanced skills can help visually impaired therapists provide increasingly high-quality services while strengthening their independence,” said Pramestie Wulandary, Corporate Secretary of IPC TPK.
IPC TPK will continue to deliver inclusive, impactful, and sustainable TJSL programs in line with the company’s vision to make a tangible contribution to society. This initiative is also part of the company’s commitment to implementing ESG principles, particularly the Social aspect and the strengthening of DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) within communities, to ensure that sustainability is not only about operations, but also about the people within it.
