INTERNATIONAL OFFICE For years, ITS International Office (IO) has become the pioneer of global movement in ITS. IO has actually been established since 2005, but it wasn't optimally functioned at that time. In 2012, Dr. Maria Anityasari thaught that eventhough the human resources at that time was limited, but IO has a great potential to be developed. Since then, volunteers are recruited from students of ITS in order to revitalize ITS IO. Now, ITS IO is divided into three divisions, the hospitality division, focusing on the activities of foreign students; workshops division, focusing on personal development of ITS's students , and media information division, focusing on the spread of information in social medias. Essentially, the goal of IO is to spread internationalization in ITS, so that every elements of ITS are aware of today's global challenges. To face AEC next year, IO has designed some programs to make ITS aware of AEC, the lesser examples are the ASEAN countries flag in the roundabout ITS and in the T-junction of biology majors, Workshop ASEAN Language, Staff internship, ISIP Competition, and spreading AEC issues through various medias. Finally, with more frequent reminders from IO and departement's organizations, ITS students are expected to be aware of the AEC and start preparing so dealing with the ASEAN society will not be a strange thing again. One thing is for sure, with all the activities that have been and will be held, IO hopes that ITS will be a well known among ASEAN universities, even globally. In addition, all the elements in the ITS can follow the pace of globalization, and they can keep up with the global Mikhael Vidi one of IO Volunteers lifestyle.(AYS) from electrical engineering (e52)
INDONESIA’S PREPARATION Earlier we have been talking about AEC, now we also need to know preparation of our country, Indonesia. Here are some Indonesia's efforts to face AEC: 1. Development of Industrial area On May 27 2011, the Government designed “Masterplan Pe rc e p a t a n d a n Pe r l u a s a n Pembangunan Ekonomi Indonesia (MP3EI)”. It is the embodiment of national economic transformation with orientation on strong economic growth, inclusive, quality, and sustainable. 2. Strengthening UMKM Sector In order to enhance the growth of UMKM in Indonesia, several program is held to introduce products of UMKM's in Indonesia and also as a stimulant for citizens to be more creative in developing small and medium enterprises. 3. Improvement of Human Resources Through education In order to support the completion of the Nine Year compulsor y education program, the government maximized the use of “BOS” in the elementary schools. ASEAN Economic Community in 2015 could be the rising glory of Indonesian economy if Indonesia can improve its competitiveness and take advantage from opportunities in the ASEAN market. Besides, the orientation of national industrial policy should be oriented to the long term scale to improve competitiveness of national industry, with or without foreign investor. The question remains, Is Indonesia’s preparation enough?.(AYS)
