The Human Resource Development division helps individuals to develop their skills, knowledge, and abilities. Most importantly, the quality of relationships between PPI London’s committees to improve each individual performances, and the overall organisational effectiveness. By providing internal management training, we help enhance their strengths as well as their ability to contribute to our organisation.

Here, we want to make sure not only they are trained to do the job but also continue to grow and develop new skills. Team-building activities, for example, is a key component in motivation. We help foster a sense of brotherhood among fellow students, regardless of their backgrounds and encourage the improvement on all ethnic groups. Individuals are able to share their strengths in complementary roles to produce meaningful results. With the interpersonal dynamics team-working creates, collaboration offers more than the sum of its parts. The more the people, the more the ideas, and the more people we can connect to. Anyone will be able to positively contribute to the society

This division serves the student community or others with the services we offer. Our services also help students’ lives, for example, by ppi, so we pick up Indonesian students at very competitive rates, we can take them from the airport to their home or vice versa or we can also go out of town. In addition, there is Ppi London accommodation that helps Indonesian students or others who are looking for a place to live, so we help find a place to live according to their specifications, we list and the ones chosen we can also help inspect directly. There is also a surprise me, so we can help people who want to surprise, whether friends or family in London, surprisin want to make bday or something else. There are also essay tutors to help Indonesian students construct their essays, not make them, so we help to check the term for the essay, it’s ok, whether it’s not yet and check for errors etc., even here we have professional workers from well-known unions. In addition, there are also jeeps from London to Indo or vice versa, so we help fill the second need. Then we every few months bring favorite food in Indo to sell in London for those who really miss Indo food which is hard to find in London or can’t find delicious, for example we have brought bakmie to London and the results are also pretty good for the experiment and the first time done. Next, I want to bring other types of Indonesian cuisine. And of all our efforts, we give 50% of the profit to the community service department of PPO London to be distributed to those who are more in need, 50% of which we use for other PPI events which also certainly generate benefits for people too.

• Online Team-Building Events

As a Human Resource Development Team, it is such a hard time for us to create team-building event during this time. Due to the pandemic, we have to change our programme to be an online-based. We decided to use jam board activity and zoom for our communication. Unsubstiantly, this online-based programme would have the same results when it is held face-to-face among us. However, we tried our best to make this programme work properly and attractively. By providing a little gift to the winners, we hope this could encourage anyone to do teh acticvity efficiently.

The aim of this program is to maximize the service to be more influential and strengthen the relationships between team members. strengthen relationships is very useful for the work, when problem arise team able to solve the problem easily and faster.

• Instagram Live Stream with El Rumi

Our criteria for the guest speaker that we invited are influencer and/or scholarship awardee. This event was meant to provide Indonesian students with a different perspective of going to uni in London from a person with a unique set of circumstances.

• Webinar

The second event we did was a webinar that aimed to give a light hearted and informative career talk. We invited 3 speakers that are based in London with differing professional backgrounds, having them share their knowledge and story about their career in London so far.

• Our first webinar has the theme “careers in the UK: from breaking into the private sector to being your own boss”We invited an entrepreneur, Pino Edwards, the owner of Pinos Warung in Camden Market, an Indonesian cuisine business that in just a year have become a very popular spot for the Indo London community.We also invited Christy Zakarias, the executive director of YIPA (Young Indonesian Professionals Association) and an assistant VP for investor relations in Barclays Bank. Lastly, we invited Rania Rusly a third year at Imperial College that has experience in software engineering internships at google and gojek.
  • We tried to make this webinar special by providing a presentation from the speakers, so that there is visual stimulus and a more casual atmosphere compared to previous webinars/career talks held by the indosoc in colleges like Kings.
    • We also picked 3 panelists with diverse backgrounds so that all types of careers can be represented and that the attendees can gain holistic knowledge.
    • And after all the panelist presents their material we continue on to a QnA session so that the attendees can interact directly with the speakers and ask them questions regarding the professional world.

• Career Webinars and Skill Development Workshop (in collaboration with YIPA)

These activities are targeted to students who want to pursue their career in the UK after completing their degree. We collaborate with fellow Indonesian who has already worked professionally here in the UK to pass out handy tips and tricks in order to ace job searching. We break down these activities by sectors such as private sectors (finance, tech/IT, entrepreneurship, engineering, and consulting. It is because each sector serves different point of view in selecting potential candidates. This way, we aim to be more effective in bridging student’s interest with the right facilitators and also to produce more comprehensive discussion. This series of activities will be promoted online through social media as well as WA/Email blast.

Earlier, we have successfully conducted our first career webinar, in which was mainly discussing about working in private sectors. We invited Rania Rusly (former Software Engineer intern in Gojek and Google), Pino Edwards (Owner of Pino’s Warung), and Christy Zakarias (AVP Investor Relation at Barclays Group). There were more than 100 people joining the event and arguably the most participants amongst similar events.

• Job Fair ICE (in collaboration with YIPA)

We realise that there also some of students who want to go back to Indonesia to kick-start or continue their career in our beloved motherland. In so doing, we look forward to support YIPA in their annual Indonesia Career Evening for year 2021 since it’s normally conducted here in London. We also hope it will be a live and in-person event so that fellow Indonesian students can experience live-networking event and meet their future employer to get to know them better. Student can explore more about this event mostly on YIPA’s website and social media.
