In the first material delivered by Stefanus Christofan as a Senior Software Development Engineer, explaining career development for students and alumni. Stefanus provides input for students to have the right experience, whether it is obtained from project classes, internship programs, as well as being a laboratory assistant or lecturer.
Because from this experience students will be better prepared to enter the world of work.
