IKA Alumni Activities

Alumni activities are regulated and managed by the Alumni Association (IKA). Every year a regular meeting is held to establish the management of the IKA. After the IKA management is formed, a program is designed that will be run by alumni. In general, the IKA alumni program is divided into routine programs and incidental programs.

Routine Programs

Routine programs include taking an active role in curriculum revitalization, alumni discussion forums to discuss actual issues in the field of special education, and social service programs. In revitalizing the curriculum, IKA's role was to provide input related to competencies that must be mastered by students based on the market field needs. Curriculum revitalization is carried out at least once a year.

In 2021, the revitalization of the curriculum involved Special Education alumni with various professions ranging from teachers, school principals, and entrepreneurs from various provinces in Indonesia such as from East Java, East Nusa Tenggara and South Kalimantan.

Job Referral & Information Sharing

IKA also recommends several job opportunities as the reference for Special Education graduates. Through IKA's WhatsApp and Telegram groups, information on the latest job vacancies relevant to the field of Special Education is shared regularly. Light discussions regarding these job qualifications took place interactively in these groups.

Scientific Forums & Guest Lectures

Scientific forums can be in the form of discussion sessions or the provision of relevant material to support the development of Special Education students' competencies, including becoming a guest lecturer.
