PPI Dunia and IKAFE UNRI Ready to Collaborate to Help Students Study Abroad.
The President of the Indonesian Student Association (PPI) Worldwide, Marhadi, encourages students from Riau to pursue higher education abroad. The alumnus of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Riau (FEB Unri), stated that studying abroad provides invaluable experience and broadens knowledge that can be applied in the professional world.
"Stay motivated and make your dreams come true. The higher you soar, the more knowledge you gain," said Marhadi on Saturday (30/11/2024).
Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Budapest, Hungary, Marhadi emphasized that PPI Worldwide is ready to assist Indonesian students who aspire to study abroad. This includes guidance in document processing, support in securing scholarships, and providing information on suitable universities.
"PPI Worldwide also helps find supervisors and academic mentors to ensure students succeed in their studies," he added.
The former Chairman of BLM FEB Universitas Riau in 2023 explained that one of PPI Worldwide's ongoing programs involves collaboration with universities, state-owned enterprises (BUMN), and private companies in knowledge transfer and educational webinars.
"Our main goal is to enhance human resource quality in preparation for Golden Indonesia 2045," he emphasized.
As a lecturer in the Department of Management at FEB Unri, Marhadi also mentioned that PPI Worldwide has engaged in discussions with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology to improve education standards. Additionally, the organization supports small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in export-import activities and promotes international scholarships.
Born in Selat Panjang, Marhadi hopes to collaborate with the Alumni Association of the Faculty of Economics (IKAFE) Unri to assist alumni who wish to continue their studies at international universities.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of IKAFE Unri, Djonieri, expressed readiness to collaborate with PPI Worldwide in creating opportunities for alumni and students interested in studying abroad.
