• 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.

Football

Every saturday we play football near royal oak station for around 2 hours. Anyone can play and we just play for fun so don’t feel intimidated if you think it will be competitive. When i came to London i barely knew any other Indonesians but because of PPI London football I made so many new friends that I am still close with until now. This activity has become a weekly routine that I look forward to every week. After we play we usually eat together too at Melur (Malay restaurant) in Edgware Road. The food is great and the atmosphere is always filled with laughter. Most of my Indonesian friends i met through football and everyone is so friendly. What truly makes PPI london football special are the tournaments that we attend every few months. If you do intend to play competitively, these tournaments were a highlight of my UK experience. Practising for these tournaments and travelling together as a team to other cities to play other PPIs was truly the best part of football. If you would like to receive further details about football you can contact me at WA: 07712263476 (Michael Mere)

Basketball and badminton

If you do not play football there are also other sports you can play every week such as basketball and badminton. The experience is equally as fun and you get to make friends here too. These weekly events are usually held similarly to football where people gather in a certain place, play for a while then go hang out. Also, these events have their own tournaments as well. The tournaments themselves are usually held by Indonesian communities and can be held in anywhere in the UK. Going to these events are incredibly fun and useful in connecting with other Indonesian’s in London so please consider joining us every week!
