Edtech is growing really fast in Indonesia. And online teaching has emerged as a viable profession in its own right. Edtech platforms are investing in strengthening this new class of workers as it becomes clear platforms need a steady stream of quality teachers to further prop up their growth.

In August, Zenius started the first batch of its teacher training and development initiative called the Educators Development Programme (EDP). It is a three-month course designed to teach potential hires how to become teachers for Zenius, or as written on the job postings, “content creators” for its platform.
