The Deputy Governor (Wagub) of Central Java, Taj Yasin Maimoen, said that the Central Java Provincial Government encourages student innovation work to be useful.
"We encourage them to create new job opportunities, they have innovations and works for us to introduce. It can become a new business and can recruit a lot of employees. So that it can be developed and mass-produced, by collaborating with the Business World and the Industrial World (DUDI)," said the Deputy Governor of Central Java, while attending the 41st Anniversary of the Semarang State Polytechnic (Polines), Monday (7/8/2023).
This year's Polines Anniversary has the theme Polines Towards Globally Visible Locally Engaged Higher Education Ready to Build a Vocational Education Ecosystem.
The Deputy Governor of Central Java, Taj Yasin, further said that it was hoped that innovation and student work could be used. “Don't just take part in competitions, after that just enter campus. There's no development. However, we hope to be introduced to the public and DUDI. Students who have innovations and become champions, then their work can be mass produced. I also hope that Polines will continue to encourage its students to work," he explained.
Moreover, according to him, currently the Central Java Provincial Government is also following government regulations, which continues to encourage the use of at least 40 percent of the use of domestic production. This climate is also a driving force for student innovation work to be used.
