JAKARTA (JP): At least 327 University of Indonesia students
will participate in corporate intern programs to gain knowledge,
experience and skills.

Bhenyamin Hoessein, an internship coordinator, said 261 of the

studying at the D-III education level in the university's school
of social and political sciences.

The other 66 are from the school's undergraduate program, he
