In the last few weeks many Study Programs have achieved excellent accreditation and these excellent ones will be pushed to international accreditation. Graduates of this period are expected to be grouped into three, namely the first group who gets a job in accordance with the competence that was pioneered and gets the minimum wage according to the area of career, then the second group as alumni can create jobs through young entrepreneurs, and the last group is those who continue to a higher level. tall. They don't want any other group, let alone a group that doesn't have a job or anything. For this reason, it is also our responsibility and our thoughts at Unud how the absorption of alumni in the world of work can be optimal.
The Rector advised all graduates to be wise in applying the knowledge that has been obtained and implementing this knowledge for the betterment of society, nation and state. Alumni are expected to be able to provide information to universities regarding subjects that are not needed and needed as professionals in the field through the implementation of tracer studies. So that improvements can be made and the competencies possessed by graduates can be in accordance with the needs of stakeholders.
