Batam International University (UIB) has established a strategic partnership with Yos Sudarso School to improve the quality and relevance of vocational education. This collaboration reached its peak with the holding of the Programming and Design Project Expo, an event aimed at strengthening student involvement in the industrial world. This Expo is a platform for vocational students to showcase their projects in the fields of programming and design, building an important bridge between the world of education and real needs in industry.
This event provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate their creativity and technical skills to the students, teachers, and examiners present. By presenting projects produced by students, this Expo not only becomes a stage for future young talents but also becomes an interactive forum where students can interact directly with industry representatives, lecturers, and practitioners. This is expected to broaden students’ insight into the needs of the job market and help them hone relevant skills.
Through the Programming and Design Expo Project, UIB and Yos Sudarso hope to inspire students to develop their interests and talents in the fields of programming and design. In this way, students can be better prepared to face competition in the ever-growing world of work. Apart from that, this event is also expected to improve the image of schools and universities, attract the interest of prospective students, and improve the overall quality of vocational education.
This collaboration reflects the joint commitment between UIB and Yos Sudarso School to bridge the division between education and industry. By presenting the Programmer and Design Project Expo, they not only create opportunities for the exchange of knowledge and skills but also form a solid foundation for the growth and progress of vocational education in the future.
