Vice Dean for Student and Alumni Affairs FEB UNS, Tastaftiyan Risfandy, S.E., M.Sc., Ph.D., in his opening remarks, highlighted the importance of student readiness in facing an increasingly competitive job market. \u201cYou are now at the final stage of your campus life. It\u2019s natural to feel both eager to graduate and anxious about entering the workforce. Securing a job is not easy; it takes time and preparation. Today, you will learn directly from practitioners about what companies truly expect from fresh graduates,\u201d he stated.\nHe emphasized that students need to prepare themselves comprehensively, not only through academic knowledge but also by developing skills and character that align with industry demands. \u201cDon\u2019t be busy marketing yourself to companies without having the right capabilities. Companies don\u2019t simply need applicants; they look for talent that can add value,\u201d he added.
\nThe main speaker, M. Roby Hervindo, CSR Manager of PT Pertamina (Persero), shared insights on the current job market landscape and the competencies needed for students to shift from a student mindset to a professional mindset. He discussed major changes in the future of work based on the Future Jobs Report 2025, which projects the disappearance of 92 million jobs and the creation of 170 million new ones. This transformation, driven by technological advancement and industrial change, requires young generations to develop adaptability, collaboration, and continuous learning.

\nRoby also highlighted the gap between fields of study and actual professions. According to data from the Indonesia Career Center Network (ICCN) and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, 87% of students are in the wrong major, and 80% of employees work outside their academic background. This reflects the importance of developing transferable skills to remain relevant in a cross-disciplinary job market.
\nThrough the \u201cPreparing You\u201d session, participants learned about key differences between student life and professional environments. The workplace demands efficiency, resilience, the ability to handle uncertainty, and the capacity to work within hierarchical organizational structures.
\nRoby introduced Pertamina\u2019s PERTAMINA BEST (Behavior Skills for The Future) framework, which focuses on seven core competencies: collaboration, analytical skills, work management, continuous improvement, technological awareness, quality orientation, and adaptability. He also stressed the importance of personal attributes such as emotional, mental, and cognitive intelligence, integrity, and learning agility in supporting professional performance.

He further outlined Pertamina\u2019s commitment to creating an inclusive work environment through the Respectful Workplace Policy, which ensures a workplace free from discrimination, violence, and harassment. Pertamina is the first state-owned enterprise to launch official guidelines on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), with 20% female employees and 19.24% women in leadership positions as of Q1 2024.\nThe Pre Job Training program not only served as a career preparation platform but also encouraged students to enter the professional world with strong character, competitive skills, and a commitment to lifelong learning. In line with FEB UNS\u2019s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this activity contributes to SDG 4 (Quality Education) by improving students\u2019 career skills and readiness, and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) by nurturing competent, competitive, and high-integrity human resources for the job market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
