General Manager Business of Tribun Pontianak Julia Lorrains expressed her gratitude to Politap for visiting her office and expressed hope for further synergy to enhance collaboration in the future.
On that occasion, Julia also stated her readiness to help Politap gain wider recognition and public attention. She hoped that this meeting would make a significant impact, especially for Politap, to become better known and gain the attention of the people of West Kalimantan, considering that Politap offers very specific Study Programs, particularly in the palm oil industry and mining sectors.

According to him, Politap is currently developing the 'Politap Building Vocational Education from the Village' system, so that through the cooperation between Tribun and Politap, this program can be strengthened and improved, enabling Politap's performance as a vocational higher education institution to empower Indonesia through village community development.
