In order to develop the Technopreneur Learning System through the Learning Management System (LMS) Platform based on the “Technopreneur” curriculum, Undip Vocational School signed a memorandum of cooperation with PT Kimora Defasa. This collaboration is to carry out the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, namely education and teaching programs through internship programs, research, and community service specifically related to education and teaching programs through internship programs or practical field work (PKL). The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding was attended directly by the Dean of the Undip Vocational School, Prof. Dr. Ir. Budiyono, M.Si., and the Main Director of PT Kimora Defasa, Dewi Setiawati Said, along with the Deputy Dean of the Undip Vocational School.
Dean of Undip Vocational School, Prof. Dr. Ir. Budiyono, M.Si., in his speech, said that he was pleased and welcomed this collaboration because it is in line with the vision and mission of Undip Vocational School to produce graduates who are competent in the field of digitalization and make talented young talents in the area of technopreneurship. Prof. Budiono stated that this collaboration is a form of Undip’s seriousness in being close to the industry.
“This collaboration is a form of our seriousness in being close to industry as well as our concrete form of facilitating students in the world of work and industry,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Main Director of PT Kimora Defasa, Dewi Setiawati Said, is confident that students at Vocational Undip have a brilliant future in the era of digitalization.
According to her, by producing quality talent, Indonesia can catch up in digitalization technology because the number of entrepreneurs in Indonesia is currently only 3.47 percent of the population, far below Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
One of the causes is the need for digital literacy in educational institutions, especially vocational education, which has yet to use digital-based entrepreneurship learning standards fully.
“I really hope that world digital business figures like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jack Ma will be born from Undip Vocational School,” he said.
