Two Great Alumni of FPIK UNDIP Teach How to Face Job Challenges

Two Great Alumni of FPIK UNDIP Teach How to Face Job Challenges

FPIK, SEMARANG – The Department of Fishery Products Technology (THP) of the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Diponegoro University (FPIK UNDIP) invited two great alumni to come to the Diponegoro campus online in order to teach and share experiences with juniors. In the Alumni Teaching session with the theme “Strengthening Alumni Networks to Face Work Challenges”, the professional alumni referred to are Arlies Meta Nugraha, S.Pi, M.M. who is currently the Head of Account Management at Kalbe E-Health; and Ardhiansyah Rohman Palani, S.Pi who served as Sales Manager of PT Sinta Prima Feedmil.

The discussion by Arlies Meta Nugraha entitled “Challenges and Opportunities for Alumni Towards the World of Work”. He stated that even though he had a career in a field that was not the same as his studies, he considered this to be a challenge for students to face in the future. Arlies who is the second year batch of the THP FPIK UNDIP Study Program said that by entering the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, the opportunity to create a job market is increasingly wide open and does not demand only one discipline. He has proven that fishery graduates can occupy quite prestigious positions in the pharmaceutical company. “Therefore, opportunities will always be wide open on the condition that students are able to take advantage of these opportunities,” said Arlies.

According to Arlies, since 2019 the data on the number of university graduates is 1.3 million people, 18.7 percent or 244,000 are graduates of education science study programs. Of the total number of graduates, there are 1.2 million graduates from August 2019 to August 2020, of which 60 percent are not working or have no business, while 32.9 percent are trying to find work. This data, when compared with the trend of job availability according to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), in February 2019 was still dominated by three sectors, namely the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Sector (29.46 percent); Trade Sector (18.92 percent); and Manufacturing Industry Sector (14.09 percent). “Being a student today is required to continue to develop themselves to be more creative and innovative and to build as many networks as possible, especially with alumni. So that when they graduate, they already have adaptive human resources and are ready to compete in this autonomous and disruptive era,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Ardhiansyah Rohman Palani, one of the alumni who was invited to this activity, confirmed Arlies’ statement. Carrying the material entitled “Strengthening Alumni Networks Towards Superior Human Resources”, Ardhiansyah Rohman Palani reminded Human Resources (HR), to be one of the main sources in carrying out every activity in small organizations or large organizations. Organizations will demand their human resources to always be productive, innovative, and creative so that this organization can continue to survive and develop. “There are five characteristics of quality human resources, including being tenacious, diligent, innovative, honest and dedicated,” said Ardhiansyah.

With superior human resources, said Ardhiansyah, it will help Indonesia’s role in realizing a better life. On the other hand, the development of technology is also increasingly demanding that we continue to be innovative and creative. “Therefore, UNDIP graduates must be tenacious, diligent, innovative, honest and highly dedicated in order to become a superior resource in an era that is widely identified as VUCA or short for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity.”

The Dean of FPIK UNDIP, Prof. Ir. Tri Winarni Agustini, M.Sc, P.hD, when contacted on Thursday (18/11/2021) positively welcomed the Teaching Alumni activities. According to Prof. Tri Winarni, this activity involving alumni is the second series after the previous year, an activity involving alumni of the Department of Fishery Products Technology was held. “Seeing the enthusiasm of the participants, I think this activity can increase the students’ optimism in facing the challenges of the world of work. So I hope that this activity can be a forum for alumni to motivate younger siblings in improving their welfare, especially in opening job opportunities,” he hoped.

The teaching Alumni event which was held on the second weekend of November 2021 was attended by 195 participants consisting of lecturers and undergraduate students from the Fisheries Product Technology Study Program and study programs at FPIK UNDIP and held online.

Always Maintain Unity, Menko Polhukam RI Calls Universitas Diponegoro indeed the fortress of Pancasila

Always Maintain Unity, Menko Polhukam RI Calls Universitas Diponegoro indeed the fortress of Pancasila

FPIK, SEMARANG -​ Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam), Prof. Dr. Mahfud MD, S.H., S.U., M.I.P, admitted that he knew exactly that Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP) was indeed the bastion of Pancasila, because since 2000 he has been actively involved in the UNDIP Campus as a lecturer in the Doctoral Program in Law.

“What the Chancellor Prof. Yos Johan said that Undip is a fortress of Pancasila which does not give space to those who are intolerant, is true,” said Prof. Mahmud MD at the Gathering with the Academic Senate and the Council of UNDIP Professors and Forkompimda Central Java, in the Prof. Building. Soedarto, Thursday (21/10/2021).

Therefore, in his series of activities at UNDIP, he did not want to give lectures or lectures on Pancasila, but chose friendship.

In the introduction to the friendship, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs said that the Pancasila ideology was final because it had undergone various processes and challenges at various moments. The constitutional way when discussed at BPUPKI, Pancasila was agreed as the basis of the state. Efforts to provide an opportunity to change the constitution through elections and open space for political parties when BJ Habibie became President, also ended with continued support for Pancasila. Ways of war, such as the G30S PKI and NII, also failed to shake Pancasila.

But there is a strange phenomenon, the President in Indonesia also falls because he is considered unable to implement, violates Pancasila. All periods of government were also accused of not implementing Pancasila. “What is the problem? Implementation,” he said, at the event moderated directly by the Undip Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Yos Johan Utama, S.H., M, Hum.

Therefore, he invites universities, which are institutions to produce intellectuals, to jointly study and find answers on how to implement Pancasila in a way that is relevant to the conditions.

Some concepts that need to be strengthened include restorative justice in the settlement of criminal cases. Then by using local wisdom.

To be sure, Mahfud emphasized that the government must be open to criticism. And should not face criticism with repressive measures. However, it must be understood that criticism of the government can also be answered with criticism if what is being said is not supported by data. So, he said, careless criticism cannot be allowed because it can be misleading.

Regarding issues that are important to pay attention to at this time, among them are the land mafia, several articles in the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE), as well as issues related to BLBI (Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance) which until now continue to emerge.

Mahfud considers these problems as waste from the past that must be resolved without blaming each other.

The current government continues to try to solve it, but it can’t be finished immediately. In the case of the land mafia, it is recognized that a lot of government land is controlled by individuals and corporations, but the handover is legal in a civil manner, so it should not be handled rashly. The BLBI problem is also not easy to solve because the law on asset confiscation does not yet exist. “Democracy must be patient,” he reminded.

However, he is optimistic that towards Indonesia Gold 2045 Indonesia will become a big country along with China, the United States, India and Japan. This prediction is reinforced by various studies, not only by national institutions, but also by international institutions such as McKinsey and PricewaterhouseCoopers. Justice and prosperity will ultimately be achieved in Gold Indonesia 2045 as long as the stages of the process, namely Independence, Unity, and Sovereignty, can be carried out properly.

Previously, Undip Chancellor Prof. Dr. Yos Johan Utama, S.H., M, Hum., said that one of the indicators of the implementation of Pancasila is prosperity. Therefore, in Undip, welfare is of utmost importance. Including the students. “Pancasila, give rights to those who are entitled. Don’t reduce. Don’t do business by putting pressure on other people,” he said.

That is the way Undip under his leadership implemented Pancasila. And what is certain, he emphasized, is that Undip is not only a fortress of Pancasila, but also a fortress of Pancasila. Therefore, there is no room for those who reject Pancasila and the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia on this campus. (Source: undip.ac.id | Tim Humas UNDIP)
