Some graduates are even currently undergoing internships at various national companies.

Director Shalfi Andri highlighted that a significant number of graduates were already employed or engaged in internships at various national companies even before their official degree conferral. He emphasized that employment is not the sole measure of success, reminding graduates that education is a lifelong journey.

The ceremony featured a scientific oration by Arif Satria, head of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN). Satria discussed job opportunities in the burgeoning creative industry, driven by digital technology. However, he also pointed out Indonesia's slow pace of technological innovation compared to other nations.

Education does not stop at graduation, but continues into life afterward.

Satria urged the public to accelerate innovation, especially as Indonesia approaches a demographic bonus period. He cited China's innovation-driven success in producing electric vehicles as an example of what is possible with the right mindset and ecosystem. He expressed optimism that Indonesia can capitalize on opportunities if its youth embrace learning, adaptability, and perseverance.

Indonesia's main issue at present lies in the slow innovation in the technological field compared to other countries.

The event also recognized three outstanding graduates: Maya Syafira Haryanti (Media Design), Laila Rahmatillah (International Marketing Management), and Ariadne Khatarina Moniaga (Media Production).

The key lies in the mentality to continually adapt and create the future.
