Politap and Hasnur Foundation Banjarmasin Ready to Expand Cooperation

BANJARMASIN – Wednesday (26/10/2022). The Director of Politeknik Negeri Ketapang (Ketapang State Polytechnic) and the Head of Department of Information Technology conducted a working visit to Hasnur Centre Foundation in Banjarmasin. This visit was held to monitor and evaluate the implementation of the Certified Internship and Independent Study (MSIB) currently being undertaken by Politap students at Hasnur Centre Foundation.

The Certified Internship and Independent Study (MSIB) is one of the Kampus Merdeka programs designed to ensure that students acquire core, top-tier, and current skills and competencies to navigate future challenges. Students gain off-campus learning experiences for more than 16 to 24 weeks by converting credit units (SKS) for courses taken. This program  is part of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka initiative developed by the Directorate General of Vocational Education, Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology.

The Politap student selected for this program is Deny Suryazi, a fifth-semester student of the D-III Information Technology Study Program currently interning at Hasnur Centre Foundation. Hasnur Centre Foundation is a social organization established by the late Haji Abdussamad Sulaiman HB in Banjarmasin on 21 April 2010.

Hasnur Centre Foundation was established in line with the founder's commitment to the Banua community and continuously strives to take part in developing an independent and prosperous Banua. The development of programs and activities at Hasnur Centre Foundation continues to this day, with its presence expected to provide broad benefits for the Banua community in accordance with its guiding spirit of “Bakti untuk Banua” (Dedication to Banua). The work programs implemented and developed by Hasnur Centre Foundation encompass social, religious, and institutional sectors, as well as education, youth, and program development.

Deny stated that he was delighted to intern at Hasnur Centre Foundation because it aligns with his passion for information technology. Meanwhile, Head of Department of Information Technology Eka Wahyudi expressed satisfaction with the reports regarding his student's performance, believing that the learning process in his department meets industry expectations.
