Medan, July 29, 2026 – The Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Sumatera Utara (FT USU), held a career development meeting with PT Medisafe Technologies to discuss the proposed 2026 Internship Program for FT USU alumni from the 2025/2026 graduating cohort.

The proposed program is primarily intended for graduates of the Chemical Engineering Study Program. However, opportunities were also discussed for alumni from the Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Architecture, and Environmental Engineering study programs.

Under the proposed scheme, participants would undertake a six-month internship, followed by a one-year Management Trainee (MT) program. Each stage is planned to include performance evaluations to determine participants' progression. Alumni who successfully complete the Management Trainee program would then be eligible to advance to the Supervisor Leader stage. If implemented, the program is expected to facilitate graduates' transition into the workforce by providing industry experience and a structured career development pathway.

The meeting was attended by Prof. Dr. Ir. Rosdanelli Hasibuan, M.T., Vice Dean for Education, Student Affairs, and Alumni; Lenny Anggrina, S.Sos., Head of the Subdivision for Research, Community Service, Cooperation, and Internationalization; and representatives of PT Medisafe Technologies. The discussion served as an initial exploration of a potential collaboration to support alumni career development.

This initiative supports SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth by expanding opportunities for graduates to gain professional experience and develop their careers. The collaboration between FT USU and PT Medisafe Technologies also aligns with SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, as the proposed program is founded on strategic cooperation between higher education and industry.

FT USU remains committed to strengthening partnerships with industry to enhance graduates' career readiness and support their long-term professional development.
