As part of its commitment to enhancing students’ academic insight and competencies, the Vocational School of Universitas Pakuan organized a public lecture featuring the Dean as the main speaker.This activity reflects the institution’s dedication to providing learning experiences that go beyond theoretical knowledge by enriching students’ perspectives on the professional world.
The public lecture was attended by students from various study programs, including the Diploma III (D3) Tax Management program, who showed great enthusiasm throughout the session. By presenting a theme relevant to current industry demands, this activity aimed to provide valuable insights for students in preparing themselves for future professional challenges.
In her presentation, the Dean emphasized the importance of balancing soft skills and hard skills for vocational students. Students are not only expected to master technical competencies in their respective fields but also to develop communication skills, teamwork, and adaptability in a rapidly changing environment.
Particularly for students of the D3 Tax Management program, analytical skills, accuracy, and a strong understanding of tax regulations are essential. However, interpersonal skills also play a crucial role, especially when interacting with clients and relevant institutions in the professional setting.
The lecture also highlighted the importance of international mobility for students. In today’s globalized era, students are expected to be competitive not only at the national level but also internationally. Therefore, students are encouraged to actively participate in various self-development programs such as seminars, training, and student exchange programs.
The Dean also motivated students to continuously develop their potential, expand their networks, and confidently seize opportunities that can enhance their personal and professional growth.
The public lecture was conducted in an engaging and interactive atmosphere. Students actively listened to the material presented and participated in discussion and Q&A sessions. This enthusiasm reflects their strong interest in developing competencies beyond formal classroom learning.
The interactive environment demonstrated that learning is not limited to classroom activities but can also be enriched through academic events such as public lectures.
Through this public lecture, it is expected that students of the Vocational School of Universitas Pakuan, particularly those in the D3 Tax Management program, will gain broader insights and stronger motivation to continue developing their skills.
This activity also serves as a strategic step in preparing graduates who are job-ready, competent, and highly competitive in the professional world. The Vocational School of Universitas Pakuan remains committed to organizing inspiring and impactful academic activities for all students.
