Prof.\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Dipl-Ing. Samuel P.\nKusumocahyo, stated that this collaboration is an important step to\nensure graduates have competencies relevant to the dynamics of the\nworking world. \u201cAt Swiss German University, we believe that higher\neducation must bridge academic needs with the ever-evolving dynamics of\nthe working world,\u201d Samuel said in Jakarta on Friday. He added that\nthrough this collaboration, students are encouraged to gain practical\nexperience and strong employability even before completing their\nstudies. One concrete step taken by SGU to strengthen this alignment is\npartnering with B-Universe. The cooperation between the two parties\nencompasses various programmes under the framework of the Tri Dharma\nPerguruan Tinggi, ranging from internships and industry training,\nresearch and development in information technology and digital fields,\nto guest lecturer programmes and joint seminars. This step also aligns\nwith the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar policy, which encourages\nstudent involvement in learning activities outside the classroom through\ndirect industry experiences. Meanwhile, Board of Patronage member of\nSwiss German University, Chris Kanter, views the synergy between\nuniversities and industry as key to building adaptive and innovative\nhuman resources. \u201cIndustry advancement requires adaptive, innovative\nhuman resources with practical experience.
