UNM partners with Kubus to equip students with skills beyond GPA for job market

Universitas Nusa Mandiri (UNM) is strengthening its ties with industry partners to prepare students for a competitive job market, recognizing that academic scores alone are no longer sufficient. The university's Nusa Mandiri Career Center (NCC) has initiated a collaboration with PT Kubus Multi Dimensi to boost students' career prospects.

The partnership, formalized through an online meeting on June 12, 2026, involves UNM leaders including Vice Rector II Arif Hidayat and Informatics Program Head Arfhan Prasetyo, alongside PT Kubus Multi Dimensi CEO Aris Susanto. Discussions centered on enhancing student competencies, facilitating internships, and expanding recruitment access for UNM graduates.

PT Kubus Multi Dimensi introduced Kubus, a digital platform designed to connect companies with qualified talent through verified skill assessments. The platform offers tests in areas crucial to the IT sector, such as SQL, Python, and Data Analytics, along with other in-demand digital skills.

We see the Kubus platform as a very relevant solution for UNM students. Students not only gain diplomas and academic experience but can also prove their technical abilities through measurable and standardized assessments.

Muhammad Faisal, Head of NCC, highlighted the platform's relevance, stating, "We see the Kubus platform as a very relevant solution for UNM students. Students not only gain diplomas and academic experience but can also prove their technical abilities through measurable and standardized assessments." He added that this approach boosts student confidence and aligns with the growing industry trend of skill-based hiring, where practical abilities are prioritized over traditional qualifications.

The Kubus platform's talent matching feature, which connects companies with candidates based on verified competencies, is particularly aligned with NCC's mission. This feature allows companies to efficiently identify suitable candidates, further streamlining the recruitment process for both employers and UNM graduates.
