The Importance of Adaptability in Facing the Disruptive Era
In the context of preparing for the challenging disruptive era, the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA), Prof. Dr. Eng. Kuwat Triyana, M.Si., provided valuable insights. He emphasized that this era requires a strong skillset preparation. “We are aware that the world is changing rapidly. Therefore, FMIPA is not only focused on mastering the subject matter but also on developing relevant skills,” he explained.
One of the concrete efforts by FMIPA to support students is the establishment of global certification programs in hard skills, soft skills, and entrepreneurship. “We want our students to be prepared to face global challenges and compete on the international stage. These certification programs will provide them with a strong foundation,” he added.
Moreover, FMIPA is also striving to prepare students for future job opportunities. In the next two years, there is an anticipation of job opportunities in the promising sectors of carbon credit and data privacy officer (DPO). “We want our students to have good marketing skills and the ability to capitalize on these opportunities. Additionally, it’s important to choose the right place and maintain connections,” he expressed.
In his closing remarks, Mr. Kuwat expressed high hopes for mutual development between students, faculty, and all elements of the campus. “With a spirit of collaboration and strong teamwork, we can realize a bright future for FMIPA and our nation,” he concluded.
