With the Merdeka Learning – Merdeka Campus policy, students have the opportunity for 1 (one) semester or the equivalent of 20 (twenty) credits to study outside the study program at the same university; and a maximum of 2 (two) semesters or the equivalent of 40 (forty) credits studying in the same study program at different tertiary institutions, studying in different study programs in different tertiary institutions; and/or learning outside of Higher Education.

MBKM with a policy that is far different from the previous curriculum in this case the Chancellor and vice-chancellor for academic affairs continue to oversee and focus the MBKM program so that it can run according to what is needed by students and the industrial world today.

The dialogue which was attended by all lecturer representatives and deputy deans of the faculties also provided fresh air to the teaching staff in directing their students in the MBKM program promoted by the Ministry of Education and Culture.

In this webinar, Andi F Noya, who is usually called Noya, emphasized that in the future the collaboration will provide direction for students to learn things outside of learning that suit the interests and talents of each student, because Noya believes that the world is now wide open with any background.

"I hope that in this collaboration, students will be like when they graduate, so they don't get confused by the differences between what they encounter in college life and in fact the industrial world. This will increase the community gap even higher and this is the main factor for frequent conflicts. So with this, they will get directions so that they are more confident in taking steps, "explained Noya.

Noya also explained that with the cooperation carried out, students will later get webinars by inviting resource persons who have run according to the fields of interest to students, such as entrepreneurship and other things that we are trying to facilitate.

"We change the mindset about understanding entrepreneurship and this can cover any faculty. Students are trained to think about how to raise funds, create projects and businesses that are assisted by experienced mentors. In addition, financial literacy is taught to students and also young people who have good ideas, but do not have the capital, more technical assistance will be given to them by mentors.

Viringga from Nara Kreatif also emphasized that they will prepare a curriculum that provides debriefing and mentoring which can be included in the proposal. Of course those who are supported by getting assistance from the best mentors in Indonesia in terms of MSMEs who will support from the grant side, to support SMEs from each region.

With this collaboration, UPNVJ hopes that efforts to maximize the MBKM program can be in accordance with the direction desired by the campus and the current and future needs of the industrial world.
