Intensive English Development Program - Indonesia Heritage Foundation

IEDP

The Intensive English Development Program (IEDP) is a programme initiated by the Indonesia Heritage Foundation (IHF) to improve English language skills at all levels within the organisation. The Foundation recognises the importance of English as a global communication tool that can open up wider opportunities, both in terms of education, cultural exchange, and international collaboration. In today’s globalised business environment, English language proficiency is a critical skill for career advancement and organisational success.
