Thirteen students of the Humanities Faculty at Universitas Dian Nuswantoro (Udinus) were successfully qualified to participate in an internship program in Germany. Those students will later conduct the ‘Ferienjob’ program in various workplaces including restaurants and hotels.
Those thirteen students were classified from two different departments namely English and Hotel Management. Four students consisting of Hanum Nailil, Lissa Celia Ayu, Andreas Deni, and Resa Andriyani were the representatives from the Department of Hotel Management. While the English Department sent nine students including Muhammad Syafiq, Maftuch Fahman, Claudio Pizzaro, Fianfranco Lucian Saputra, Hibatul Azizi Putra A, Mayrendra Dharmawan, Hildansyah Yuliswana, Virian Gloria Gento, and Kezia Natalie Putri.
During his interview, Izza Ulumuddin Ahmad Asshofi, S.E., M.MPar., the Coordinator of Collaboration and Internship Affairs in the Humanities Faculties, explained that those students would participate in various jobs in Germany and would also later receive a fair amount of salary for their hard work. Izza, who was also the PIC Ferienjob of Germany, revealed that every student participating in the program had undergone special training as a preparation.
“Udinus is one of the universities in Indonesia that actively takes part in sending its students to participate in Ferienjob in Germany. Furthermore, our conversion rate is relatively higher than that of other universities, it reached 100 percent,” he emphasized.
Resa Andriyani, a Hotel Management student, claimed to be glad to take part in Ferienjob. This kind of activity was nothing new to her, as she once worked in Taiwan as an intern for six months. Resa had undergone a series of preparations including honing her English skills, learning German culture, and many more.
“This is a perfect opportunity for me and the other 12 students. I have prepared myself for the challenges to come and it is indeed a pleasure to go to foreign countries once again,” she revealed.
Before their departure to Germany, those students bid farewell to Prof. Dr. Ir. Edi Noersasongko, M.Kom., (the Chancellor of Udinus). They were also accompanied by Dr. Dra. Sri Mulatsih M.Pd., (the Vice Dean of Humanities Faculty), Dr. Sunardi, S.S., M.Pd., (the Head of English Language Study Program), Dr. Neni Kurniawati, S.S., M.Hum., (the Head of Applied Hotel Management Study Program), and Izza Ulumuddin Ahmad Asshofi, S.E., M.MPar., (the Coordinator of Collaboration and Internship Affairs in the Humanities Faculty).
The Chancellor congratulated those thirteen students for managing to participate in Ferienjob in Germany. He also encouraged them to utilize this opportunity to its fullest.
“Do not waste this great opportunity to participate in Ferienjob. Gather as much knowledge and experience as possible there. Once again, I shall congratulate all of you,” he concluded. (Humas Udinus/Alex. Foto: Humas Udinus)
