The Faculty of Economics and Business of Universitas Gadjah Mada (FEB UGM) has entered into a strategic partnership with PT Taspen. The cooperation agreement in the fields of education, research, and community service was signed by the Dean of FEB UGM, Professor Didi Achjari, and the Director of Human Resources and Information Technology of PT Taspen, Dr. Ovita Susiana Rosya, at the FEB UGM Master of Accounting Auditorium.
The Director of Human Resources and Information Technology of PT Taspen, Dr. Rosya, stated that the collaboration aims to enhance the quality of learning, research, and human resource development that are adaptive to digital technological advancements and industry needs.
“This MoU serves an essential purpose, namely as a guideline for realizing cooperation in the fields of education, human resource training, and research,” she said on Friday (Dec. 19, 2025).
Dr. Rosya explained that the collaboration covers the development of collaborative research, the organization of scientific activities such as seminars and workshops, academic studies, and knowledge-based training for PT Taspen employees.
She emphasized that investment in human resource development is one of the key strategies for companies in addressing future challenges.
She also affirmed that career opportunities at PT Taspen are widely open to the UGM academic community.
“Currently, the composition of TASPEN employees is dominated by the millennial generation at 97 percent, millennial officials at 93 percent, and female officials at 39 percent,” she explained.
Along with the signing of this cooperation, PT Taspen also handed over learning support in the form of 4 laptop units to FEB UGM.
The assistance represents PT Taspen’s support for improving learning quality and facilitating access to technology to support research activities.
Dean Achjari welcomed the collaboration and emphasized the importance of implementing the memorandum of understanding that has been mutually agreed upon.
He expressed hope that this partnership would expand access to internships, applied research, and innovative learning opportunities for students.
According to Dean Achjari, the collaboration also opens opportunities for the development of micro-credentials and online learning that enable students and professionals to pursue learning more flexibly.
Flexible learning, he noted, is part of the pathway toward achieving academic outcomes, and this scheme is expected to address time constraints, particularly for working students and employees.
“FEB UGM, through its various master’s programs and the Research and Development for Social Impact (RDSI) unit, is ready to support PT Taspen in policy research, the development of internal learning modules, and strategic studies with social impact,” he remarked.
