The Lembaga Pengelola Dana Pendidikan (LPDP) program is one of the most well-known scholarship programs in Indonesia organized by the Ministry of Finance of Indonesia. It is designed to boost the investment of Indonesian Human Resources through a full scholarship for Indonesia’s young generation in continuing their education on the postgraduate program. Up to early 2019, there are more than 20,000 LPDP awardees from various backgrounds spread out around the world.
Purnomo Yusgiantoro Center (PYC) was delighted to be a part of the 2019 Welcoming Event for Alumni of LPDP in the Gala Dinner and Career Fair. The Gala Dinner was held on 15 March 2019, at Dhanapala Building, while the Career Fair was held on the next morning at Borobudur Hotel, Jakarta. There were other companies and NGOs participated in the event such as Tokopedia, Grab, WWF, Bank Indonesia, Bank Mandiri and others. Aside from the career fair, there was also a seminar inviting representations from three different business types; NGO, government and corporate. The focus of this seminar was to give insights for LPDP alumni regarding what is expected from generation of young employees, the differences among those three business types and how they can collaborate.
