Private radios to help UI

M. Taufik -- the head of the Jakarta chapter of the Indonesian association of private radio broadcasters -- said yesterday that the radio broadcasting business in Jakarta still needs well- trained people with university degrees.

Taufik made his comments after signing a cooperation agreement between the association and the mass communication school of the University of Indonesia (UI).

The agreement states that the association will supply some facilities to the university's students while UI will provide well-trained people to work at the association's commercial projects.

The association has provided the school's lab with Rp 100 million (US$45,913) in new radio equipment.

He said that the radio broadcasting business offers a great opportunity and a lucrative salary for the people who can make it in the business.(03)
