        "summary": "Deputy Minister Fauzan has called on Indonesian students to adopt a global mindset to improve the competitiveness of graduates in the international job market, highlighting how foreign workers from countries like India often dominate high-tech roles due to their expansive spirit and confidence. He emphasised the need for universities to expand their role beyond graduation to facilitate international career development, citing successful programmes like the Indonesia-Japan nursing initiative and a new government scheme offering overseas work placements for students affected by natural disasters in regions such as Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra. This approach not only ensures continuity in their education through online classes and intensive language training but also enables them to support their families financially.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Science, and\nTechnology (Wamendiktisaintek) Fauzan has urged all students to possess\na global mindset so that Indonesian graduates can compete in the\ninternational job market.<\/p>\n<p>During the Career Development Centre (CDC) Strengthening event in\nJakarta on Wednesday, Fauzan highlighted the fact that high-tech jobs in\nvarious parts of the world, even in Indonesia itself, are often\ndominated by workers from other countries such as India.<\/p>\n<p>According to Fauzan, this occurs because workers from competing\ncountries generally have an expansive spirit and high self-confidence to\npursue careers beyond national borders. On the other hand, Indonesian\nsociety is seen as still having cultural barriers that view the\ndeparture of family members from their home areas as disrupting family\nstability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should not just be spectators in the era of globalisation, but we\nmust be actors,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Fauzan encouraged universities to take a broader role, not\njust graduating students, but also facilitating their career development\nto an international level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not easy, because it indeed requires a way of thinking or a\nglobal mindset,\u201d Fauzan added.<\/p>\n<p>As an example of success, he explained the Indonesia-Japan nursing\nprogramme that he pioneered while serving as rector at Muhammadiyah\nUniversity of Malang, which successfully equipped students with foreign\nlanguages from the early semesters and sent hundreds of graduates\nabroad.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the government is promoting a study programme with\noverseas job placements that could become an innovative and strategic\nsolution for students affected by natural disasters in various regions\nsuch as Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra.<\/p>\n<p>The affected students are provided with intensive language training,\nan online learning system, and subsequently facilitated to go work in\nJapan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst, they will not stop studying, and second, they can become the\nbackbone of the family because they are working,\u201d said Fauzan.<\/p>",
