The International Office of Politeknik Negeri Jember conducted a briefing session for students interested in registering for the collaborative program with HOPE International. The session aimed to provide comprehensive information for prospective applicants regarding the objectives of the program, the registration process, and the benefits students can gain from participating in this global career development initiative.

During the briefing, the KUI team explained that the program is designed to help students strengthen competencies that are relevant to the needs of the global industry, particularly multinational companies from China. The program integrates professional Mandarin language training, the use of AI-based tools, and career preparation oriented toward international employment opportunities.

Students were also introduced to the learning materials that will be delivered throughout the program. The main topics include Mandarin for professional communication, the use of AI tools for CV writing and self-introduction video preparation, as well as strategies to prepare students for entering the global workforce.

In addition to the learning content, the KUI team presented the program format, which will be conducted through interactive online classes. The program will run for approximately 10 to 12 weeks, with evening sessions scheduled from 18.00 to 21.00, allowing students to continue attending their regular academic activities at the campus.

During the session, students were also informed about the additional benefits of the program, including a course completion certificate and preparation for the HSK examination, an internationally recognized certification for Mandarin language proficiency. This certification can support students in enhancing their competitiveness in the international job market.

The KUI team also emphasized that the Mandarin training program is offered free of charge for selected participants. However, students who wish to take the HSK certification exam will need to pay the examination fee independently according to the official regulations.

Students showed strong enthusiasm throughout the briefing session. Many participants raised questions regarding career opportunities in international companies, the participant selection mechanism, and strategies to maximize the benefits of the program as a stepping stone toward building a global career.

Through this briefing session, the International Office of Polije hopes that more students will be encouraged to develop international competencies and take advantage of global collaboration opportunities. The program is expected to serve as a bridge for Polije students to enhance their readiness to face the challenges of the international job market in the future. 🌏🎓
