        "content": "<p>West Bandung Regent Jeje Ritchie Ismail has taken on a new status\nafter graduating with a bachelor\u2019s degree from the Government Studies\nprogramme at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) at\nUniversitas Jenderal Achmad Yani (Unjani) in Cimahi.<\/p>\n<p>Jeje underwent the graduation ceremony on Wednesday (15\/4\/2026) at\nthe Unjani Auditorium, accompanied by his wife, who is also the younger\nsister of actor and Presidential Special Envoy for Youth Development and\nArts Workers Raffi Ahmad, Syahnaz Sadiqah. His mother-in-law, Amy\nQonita, also witnessed Jeje\u2019s graduation ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlhamdulillah, today I am graduating with a bachelor\u2019s degree in\nGovernment Studies. For me, even though I am no longer young, age is not\na barrier to continuing to learn,\u201d said Jeje.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, completing his education amid the busyness of being\na regional head is not easy. The Govinda drum band enthusiast had to\ndivide his time between his duties as regent and his studies.<\/p>\n<p>However, Jeje was fortunate because Unjani implemented both\nconventional and online learning, allowing him to finish his degree.\n\u201cInsya Allah, with the knowledge gained during my studies at Unjani, it\ncan be implemented to run the wheel of government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unjani Cimahi Rector Agus Subagyo said that in this graduation, the\nuniversity is releasing 1,810 graduates from all study programmes at\nUnjani. This graduation is being held over two days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn general, those graduating today number 1,810. Actually, we have\naround 2,100 graduates, but not all who graduate participate in the\nceremony because some professional programmes like medicine, pharmacy,\nand so on are not required to attend the graduation,\u201d explained\nAgus.<\/p>\n<p>He said that students studying at Unjani come from diverse\nbackgrounds, including various professions with busy schedules such as\nstate officials to athletes. To accommodate this, the university\nimplements both conventional and digital learning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no such thing as no time and so on because Unjani currently\napplies a learning system that is not only conventional but also\ndigital. We conduct lectures in a hybrid manner, both online and\noffline. Thus, many officials as well as athletes can join the\nlectures,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure graduates are ready to compete in the job market, Unjani\nalso regularly holds career preparation (career development) sessions\nahead of graduation. This programme includes soft skills training and\nfeaturing competent speakers from the business world and industry\n(DUDI).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want graduates to have not only a diploma but also the\ncompetencies needed in the job market. Our target is for graduates to be\nabsorbed into the workforce within a maximum of three to four months\nafter graduation,\u201d said Agus.<\/p>",
