Career Compass Expo 2025: A Real Bridge to UIN Jakarta Students' Career Future

Ciputat, UIN Online News — UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta's Career Center is once again presenting its annual event, the Career Compass Expo (CCE) 2025. The event will take place on June 18-19, 2025, at UIN Jakarta Campus 1, coinciding with UIN Jakarta's 68th Dies Natalis celebration.

With the theme “Unlocking Career Door: Your Future Starts Here,” CCE 2025 is designed as a platform for career development and further studies for students and alumni, while also strengthening the connection between the academic and professional worlds.

UIN Jakarta Rector, Prof. Asep Saepudin Jahar, M.A., Ph.D., fully appreciates this year's CCE. He affirmed that this event is not only part of UIN Jakarta's 68th anniversary celebration but also a concrete manifestation of the university's commitment to expanding its role as a center for career acceleration and innovation.

“At 68 years old, UIN Jakarta continues to expand its role not only as a center of knowledge but also as a center for career acceleration and innovation. We appreciate the Career Center's initiative in organizing CCE 2025. This job fair is not just a formal ceremony; it is a real bridge between the academic and professional worlds,” he stated.

In line with this, Vice Rector for Student Affairs, Prof. Ali Munhanif, M.A., Ph.D., stated that modern campuses can no longer function merely as ivory towers. According to him, CCE is an important momentum to strengthen the synergy between the campus and the industry sector.

“A campus is no longer an ivory tower. Through CCE, we encourage students to build their career future while still in college, with an applicable approach relevant to the needs of the times. Activities like this must continue to be strengthened because they can bridge students with the real world, both through professional work and independent entrepreneurship,” he emphasized.

Meanwhile, Head of UIN Jakarta's Career Center, Mr. Muhammad Kholish Hamdy, S.Sos. I., MInt.Dev., stressed that CCE is a tangible form of the institution's responsibility to address students' current needs and challenges.

“We want to emphasize that the job fair at UIN Jakarta is not just symbolic. We are bringing in companies that genuinely offer real job opportunities. The goal is for students to not only be ready to graduate but also ready to enter the workforce or even create their own jobs. CCE is concrete proof of how the campus truly responds to the challenges of the times and the needs of students,” he concluded.

It is known that CCE 2025 is more dynamic and applicable through three integrated main agendas. The job fair is one of the main attractions of this event. A total of 28 national and multinational companies are scheduled to attend directly on campus to open job opportunities for young job seekers. This proves that UIN Jakarta's job fair is not just a ceremony or mere symbolism but genuinely opens doors for students and alumni to explore the professional world.

In addition, CCE 2025 also hosts a series of inspiring seminars in the Career Preparation agenda. In these sessions, participants will gain in-depth insights into job opportunities both domestically and internationally, as well as various information related to further study scholarships. These seminars serve as important provisions for students to be better prepared to compete in the demanding professional world and amidst changing global dynamics.

Adding to the vibrancy of the event is the Localpreneur Fest, a space for students and alumni to showcase and sell their business products through MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) booths. Besides being a promotional event, Localpreneur Fest also serves as a concrete entrepreneurship learning platform with immediate tangible benefits.

Career Compass Expo 2025 is expected to be not only an informative event but also an inspirational one—a first step that encourages students to dare to dream, prepare themselves, and take further steps in building their future.
