UNM Internship Programme Enhances Students’ Workplace Competencies

JAKARTA — Maratus Solikhah, a seventh-semester student on the Management Study Programme at Universitas Nusa Mandiri (UNM), is undertaking an internship at the Gelora Bung Karno Complex Management Centre (PPKGBK). Through the Internship Experience Programme 3+1, Maratus has been entrusted with supporting the Goods and Services Procurement division, handling administrative documents and the e-procurement system.

As a digital business campus, UNM encourages students to apply their knowledge of operations management and management information systems in professional institutions. During her internship, Maratus has managed supplier documentation, compiled data and handled the digitisation and filing of procurement records. The university says this practical work experience is important for developing resilience in the workplace.

The direct involvement has given her valuable experience in honing attention to detail, discipline and communication skills in a government institution. Students are also mentored by experienced professionals in their fields.

UNM Management Study Programme head Instianti Elyana praised Maratus’s dedication and performance during the internship. The university continually monitors students’ progress to ensure that learning objectives are met.

“We appreciate Maratus’s enthusiasm and commitment in making the most of this internship opportunity. The experience she has gained, particularly in procurement administration, is valuable in developing managerial competencies, attention to detail, a sense of responsibility and the ability to adapt to a professional environment,” she said.

Meanwhile, Nusa Mandiri Career Centre (NCC) head Muhammad Faisal reaffirmed UNM’s commitment to transforming classroom learning into practical industry experience. The university is pursuing this through partnerships with a range of leading institutions.

“Through the Internship Experience Programme 3+1, we want to encourage students to become graduates who have not only academic knowledge, but also experience, competence and the readiness to face the challenges of the world of work,” he said in a statement received on Monday (2 November 2026).

The internship at PPKGBK is expected to equip UNM students with a competitive edge and career readiness before they enter professional life. The partnership underscores UNM’s commitment to producing innovative, principled graduates ready to contribute to society and industry.
