FKIP – The Alumni Family Association (IKA) of the Extraordinary Education Study Program (PLB) Teacher Training and Education Faculty (FKIP) Sebelas Maret University (UNS) Surakarta held a talk show entitled PLB Alumni Gathering on Tuesday (10/5/2022 ). Themed “Talkshow IKA PLB UNS: Move, Empower, and Work for the Nation”, this event was held online through the Zoom Meeting application.

The event opened with the symbolic handing over of education funds from IKA PLB FKIP UNS represented by Dr. Sujarwanto, M.Pd. as Chair of the IKA PLB FKIP UNS to the Representative of Outstanding Student PLB FKIP UNS, Abidatun Nisa. Then, the event continued with remarks from the Dean of FKIP UNS.

In his speech, Dr. Mardiyana, M.Si. as the Dean of FKIP UNS said that the development of an institution, especially in the field of education, requires collaboration with alumni. According to him, the quality of the institution has a direct relationship with the quality of its alumni.

“Cooperation between an educational institution and its alumni is very much needed. This cooperation is also very profitable. When the institution experiences rapid progress, its alumni will be carried away. For example, when looking for a job, you will see which university it is from in addition to its capabilities. In society, if the university is of good quality, usually the alumni are also considered qualified,” explained Dr. Mardiyana.

Moderated by Dra. Endah Dwi Hastuti, M.Pd. as the Principal of the Boyolali State Extraordinary School (SLBN), this event presented 3 speakers who were alumni of the PLB FKIP UNS Study Program. The event was held in the form of a talk show, where the speakers gave responses to questions prepared by the committee, and participants were guided by a moderator.

The first speaker was Amanah, S.Pd., M.Pd. He is a teacher at SLBN 12 Jakarta. The second speaker was Rully Anjar Arifianto, S.Pd. as Sign Language Interpreter (JBI) at JBI Jakarta Service Center. Meanwhile, the last speaker at this event was Yayan Nirwana Arif, S.Pd. who is a Clay Entrepreneur and Handycraft Teacher at SLBN Semarang?

On this occasion, the three speakers shared their stories during their education at PLB FKIP UNS. They also explained how the learning climate at PLB FKIP UNS was successful in shaping character and providing provisions for their career journey. Then, they also share their experiences in finding work to start their current career.

The talk show session ended with the delivery of entrepreneurship tips and tricks to the talk show participants delivered by Yayan Nirwana Arif, S.Pd. He advised me not to give up easily when I encountered a failure in entrepreneurship.

“Starting a business can be done by determining what our favorite field is. If our preferences require a lot of capital, we can choose the option of reseller. From there we can set aside profits for our venture capital and conduct research to determine market share. When trying to try a product that fails, don’t give up immediately. Because there is a possibility that when we try other businesses, we can succeed,” concluded Yayan.

The event closed with a friendly session led by Dr. Subagya, M.Si. as the Head of the PLB FKIP UNS Study Program (Kaprodi).
