PT Pegadaian launches MSME barbershop training in Makassar

PT Pegadaian Regional Office VI (Sulselbarra Maluku) has launched a barbershop training program at Mall Nipah in Makassar to support the economic independence of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The training covers technical skills such as hair cutting techniques, equipment maintenance, and customer service, as well as business management insights.

Regional Leader Pratikno stated that the program aims to provide sustainable benefits by increasing community capacity rather than just providing temporary aid. This initiative is part of the company’s Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) program.

This community empowerment effort coincides with strong financial growth for PT Pegadaian. As of April 30, 2026, the company reported total assets of Rp183.8 trillion, a 56 percent increase from the previous year. Net profit also saw a significant rise, reaching Rp4.38 trillion, up 87.2 percent compared to the same period in 2025.
