There are plenty of useful activities that can be activated both by high school and higher education entities.  One of those activities is the tutorial program to introduce the higher education standard before a high school student picks their preferred program.  This program not only set to introduce the differences between higher education and high school standard but also to give plenty of chances.  Some of those chances are for higher education students to applied their experiences from the campus and for the alumni to go back into their past high school program.  The practiced of this activity run directly in Tarsisius II Catholic’s High School at Jakarta.  During the activity, the team that consists of higher education lecturer and students found out that there are significant gaps.  One of the most critical gap is to ensure the better two way communication in learning processes.  For this kind of thing, the lecturer and teams tried to not only see the paper result.  The adaptiveness from what they learn during the tutorial program is also important.  As a result, this tutorial work out successfully and could be implemented in several other tutorial program in other high schools.

This community service program, entitled English for Global Communication: Strengthening Intercultural Competence among Polytechnic Students, was led by Doris Yolanda Saragih, S.Pd., M.Pd., in collaboration with Clementine and Josh, guest lecturers from the United Kingdom. The activity took place at Politeknik Bisnis Indonesia on September 1, 2025, involving 60 students across two interactive learning sessions. The program aimed to enhance students’ ability to communicate effectively in global settings by integrating language proficiency, cultural awareness, and practical communication strategies. The learning process applied a communicative and experiential approach, featuring discussions, simulations, and task-based learning to develop students’ speaking fluency, cross-cultural sensitivity, and confidence. The participation of native English speakers provided authentic exposure to international discourse and cultural perspectives, which enriched the overall learning experience. Evaluation results indicated a significant improvement in students’ oral communication skills, vocabulary use, and intercultural understanding. Furthermore, participants demonstrated higher motivation and readiness to apply English in academic and professional contexts. Overall, this community engagement initiative effectively contributed to enhancing global communication competence and supported the institution’s mission to cultivate globally competitive and culturally aware graduates.

This study examines the impact of self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and digital skills on student job readiness in the era of digital fatigue. This study used a descriptive method and involved 202 students from Subang studying in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY), selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS. The results show that self-confidence, emotional intelligence, and digital skills each have a positive and significant impact on job readiness, and together increase students' adaptability and resilience in the era digital fatigue. These findings emphasize the importance of building self-confidence, managing emotions, and mastering digital skills to mitigate the impact of digital fatigue and prepare students for increasingly competitive and modern job markets. The results of this study can serve as a reference for students, lecturers, and policymakers in developing strategies that combine mental readiness and mastery of digital skills in the educational process at universities.   This study examines the impact of self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and digital skills on student job readiness in the era of digital fatigue.

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) in learning media presents challenges related to the uneven readiness of human resources and infrastructure, thus affecting the effectiveness of its implementation. This study aims to examine the effect of AI implementation in learning media development on learning outcomes of students of Faculty of Economics, University of Balikpapan. The method used is quantitative with survey design and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis using AMOS. The sample consists of 113 students selected by simple random sampling from the population of 376 active students. The results of the analysis showed that the readiness of lecturers and the quality of AI-based learning media had a significant effect on improving student learning outcomes. However, the success of AI implementation is also strongly influenced by infrastructure support and educator training. The findings provide important implications for learning media developers and policy makers to strengthen lecturers' capacity and improve technology infrastructure to support inclusive and sustainable digital transformation of education. In addition, ethical aspects and data privacy should be the main concerns in the development of AI-based learning media.

The maritime sector is critical for global trade and economic development, yet challenges in workforce development persist, particularly in tanker operations handling dry bulk cargo like agricultural products. This research investigates the interplay between recruitment strategies, crew competencies, and ship operational performance, with a focus on PT Sillo Maritime Perdana Tbk, a key player in Indonesia’s offshore shipping sector. Addressing gaps in aligning workforce development with industry demands, this study explores the effectiveness of recruitment practices and competency development within the operational context of this organization. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of recruitment strategies and crew work competencies, individually and collectively, on improving operational performance at PT Sillo Maritime Perdana Tbk. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research employed Statistical Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze quantitative data from 117 participants and conducted thematic analysis of qualitative insights from experts, lecturers, graduates, and head workers. The results revealed that recruitment strategies and crew competencies significantly contribute to operational performance, with a combined positive effect observed. Structured recruitment and ongoing skill development tailored to industry demands were identified as critical. The findings also highlighted the transformative role of educational technology in bridging the gap between academic training and operational realities. The study provides actionable insights for PT Sillo Maritime Perdana Tbk and similar organizations, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts to enhance workforce readiness, operational efficiency, and sustainability in maritime activities.
