The training featured Rika Arindina Wati as the main speaker, who delivered material on the practical calculation of Income Tax (PPh) Article 21, the utilization of the e-Faktur application, and an introduction to Coretax Systems, the latest tax administration system currently being implemented by the Directorate General of Taxes.

The Head of the FEB UNS Taxation Laboratory, Dr. Arum Kusumaningdyah Adiati, stated in her opening remarks that this training is part of the initiatives to strengthen students’ practical skills in taxation. “We know that the professional world today does not only ask ‘what do you know?’ but also ‘what you skilled at?’. As students of FEB UNS, we are required to be one step ahead. The theories obtained in lectures serve as the foundation, but practical proficiency in using taxation applications becomes an essential asset when entering the workforce,” she remarked.

She explained that the training activity was designed to assist students in understanding taxation practices firsthand through the software utilized in the professional industry. “Today, we learn directly from a practitioner about calculating PPh Article 21, using e-Faktur, and transitioning toward Coretax Systems. Hopefully, students can actively ask questions and explore these applications as deeply as possible,” she added.

Dr. Arum also expressed her appreciation to all parties who supported the execution of the event, including the Vice Dean for Academic and Research Affairs of FEB UNS and the organizing committee. During the training session, participants not only took part in the tax computer practice but also had the opportunity to discuss directly with the speaker regarding the updates in Indonesia’s tax administration system. Furthermore, this activity provided e-certificates and hands-on practical experience, which hopefully can strengthen student competence in digital taxation.

Through this initiative, the FEB UNS Taxation Laboratory hopefully enables students to increase their readiness in facing the demands of a workforce that increasingly requires mastery of the latest technology and tax applications. This academic agenda also supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 regarding Quality Education, Goal 8 regarding Decent Work and Economic Growth, and Goal 9 regarding Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.

In her remarks, the Vice Dean for Academic and Research Affairs of FEB UNS, Prof. Tri Mulyaningsih, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., conveyed that the session is important for providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the laboratory training programs designed to support their readiness for the professional world. She explained that FEB UNS students are expected to develop three core skill components: academic skills, generic skills, and technical skills, where technical skills being particularly significant given their direct relevance to specific professional competencies in fields such as export-import, logistics, the capital market, and entrepreneurship.

“This info session aims to ensure that students understand that, in addition to completing their coursework, they are also required to participate in training activities equivalent to 5 credit units (SKS) as part of competency strengthening prior to graduation,” she explained.

Following the opening remarks, each laboratory head presented their respective training plans for the year 2026. The laboratories currently operating under FEB include the Financial Technology Laboratory, the Export-Import Laboratory, the Logistics and Capital Market Laboratory, the Entrepreneurship Simulation Laboratory, the Taxation Laboratory, the Project-Based Learning Laboratory, the Village Development Laboratory (Laboratorium Bina Desa), and the Integrated Information Technology Laboratory. In the subsequent session, each laboratory head elaborated on the types of training offered, the subject matter to be covered, and the benefits students stand to gain from participating in the programs.

In addition to the training sessions, students also have the opportunity to pursue formal recognition of the competencies they have acquired through professional certification facilitated by the Universitas Sebelas Maret Professional Certification Body (LSP UNS). Such certification provides formal acknowledgment of student competencies and serves as a valuable asset upon entering the workforce.

Through this socialization activity, FEB UNS encourages students to take full advantage of the available training and certification programs to enhance their practical skills, strengthen their readiness for the professional world, and support competency development from their undergraduate years onward. The activity is also consistent with efforts to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) through the enhancement of skills-based learning, and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) by preparing graduates who are competent, adaptive, and competitive in the labor market.
