The millennial industry demands graduates who perform both mentally and physically. For this reason, higher education continues to innovate and increase creativity according to industry needs. Likewise, vocational education, especially the Industrial Chemical Engineering Technology Study Program (TRKI), must adapt and move quickly to adapt to the challenges and needs of the world of work today and in the future. Head of the TRKI Study Program, Mohamad Endy Yulianto, S.T., M.T, stated that the study program has prepared skilled and competent human resources in their fields through the Revitalization of Vocational Higher Education. Implementation of the Revitalization Program includes: dual system, teaching factory, retooling (retraining), industrial practitioners and the Competency Certification Institute (LSP). Even several TRKI students who have not graduated, armed with grade transcripts for 7 semesters and competency certification, have been proposed to various companies, such as: Eternal Tsingshan Group industry as MT (Rifnaldi Sadik, Faizal Pambayun); PT Jaya Trade Indonesia for the position of Business Development (Salsabila); PT Sutindo Chemical Indonesia Surabaya, Research and Development Staff (Tessalonika Sitepu); PT Hailiang Nova Material Indonesia – QC Trainee (Rhida Amalia Dewi Firdausi); and PT LBM New Energy Indonesia – QC Specialist (Desy Sonia Putri, Era Aristanto, Muhammad Zaki Riadhus Shalihin, Septi Enjelina Sitio).
“Currently there are 4 alumni working at PT LBM New Energy Indonesia and 1 PT Hailiang Nova Material Indonesia alumni who is taking part in training in China for 3 months,” said Endy. Endy explained that all of this is inseparable from the learning method with a collaborative system of industry practitioners, namely students replicating practices at the miniplant to improve skills. Industrial practitioner lecturers at the TRKI Study Program have experience working in multinational companies at home and abroad, such as Dr. Novi Hery Yono (PPSDM Migas – Cepu); Ir. Jahnawi Tri Wasisto, MM., MBA. (Ex Vice President of ENI Indonesia and Ex GM Petrochemical in Qatar); Tjoek Oedowo, ST., MH. (President Director of PT Wealthindo Putrapramesti Perkasa); and Dr. Ria Desiriani, S.T., M.T. Ir. Jahnawi Tri Wasisto, MM., MBA who is also the Managing Director of PT. Elno Tech Mubarac, usually known as Jahnawi, said that vocational education has an important and prospective role as a solution to the challenge of needing skilled and competent workers. To make Indonesia a developed country, it must become an industrial country with downstream development in various sectors, and vocational schools play a key role. Therefore, collaboration with industry practitioners who have leadership capabilities such as the fossil industry, renewable energy, chemical industry, petrochemical and energy sectors is very necessary to answer current challenges.
Jahnawi, who is an expert in the Petrochemical Industry, also added a vocational learning system developed in response to Cybergogy, namely actively linking creativity through web 4.0; communicate; collaborate in Cyber, self-regulated, ownership, generative; Inspirator; and humans are meaningful. Therefore, lectures with practitioner lecturers are like chemical factory design courses, by early introducing the work as a process engineering designer in the chemical process industry and introducing common engineering deliverable results or outcomes. The hope is that when you are accepted for work you can immediately tune in and be able to immediately work according to the company’s needs.
