| Abstract | The Indonesian geothermal industry, with an installed capacity of around 1948 MW is currently the country with the second-largest installed geothermal capacity in the world. However, the target of the Indonesian Government in 2025 is still far from the current installed capacity, which is more than 7000 MW. It will require a lot of effort to achieve this ambitious target, one of which is to provide a lot of competent human resources. In addition to formal schooling or higher education, vocational education institutions are expected to contribute to meeting these needs, especially training centers spread throughout Indonesia. The Indonesian National Work Competency Standards (SKKNI) cover aspects of knowledge, skills, and work attitudes that are relevant to the implementation of tasks and the terms of the positions given. Likewise, there has been a standard of competence for geothermal drilling even though it is still grouped with oil and gas drilling. The grouping of these two into one standard is proof that the Government still considers that both are similar. However, previous research has identified that geothermal drilling and oil and gas drilling are different. This paper will discuss the application of onshore drilling standards that applied in Indonesia to produce a geothermal drilling training program curriculum. An overview of current geothermal energy status in Indonesia, relating to the development of human resources will be presented. Furthermore, this study will analyze the competency standards used in Indonesia. The results of the discussion of this paper are in the form of materials proposed to be included in the geothermal drilling training curriculum in Indonesia. The implementation of a curriculum specifically for geothermal drilling is intended to reduce the risks in drilling significantly so that geothermal projects become more affordable to reach the Government's target in 2025. |
