After 2 Years, FE UNY Had a Practicum Visit from SMK N 1 Yogyakarta

After 2 years of not receiving visits due to the Covid-19 pandemic, now the Office Administration Education Laboratory (PADP) of the Faculty of Economics (FE) UNY has again received academic and/or public visits. SMK N 1 Yogyakarta visited UNY to have a practicum learning in the PADP FE UNY laboratory from 14 to 15 September. The visit was attended by approximately 136 students and divided into 2 sessions. The visit began with a welcome by the Head of the Department of Administrative Education, Dr. Rosidah, M.Si. 

The students and teachers were divided into small groups to visit the Office Simulation Laboratory, Office Technology Laboratory, and Typing Laboratory. At the Office Simulation Laboratory, which was guided by Yuliansah, S.Pd., M.Pd., students received practical activities for handling incoming and outgoing letters, practicing online meetings, and practicing offline meetings. Participants are given different roles according to the provided lab sheet so that the participants get an experience of working simulation for a company. Activities at the Typing Laboratory were guided by Wahyu Rusdiyanto, S.Pd., M.M. and Isti Kistiananingsih, S.Pd., while the Office Technology Laboratory was guided by Danang Setyaramadani, M.PA. The participants were given theoretical material about the use of lab equipment in the Office Technology Laboratory and Typing Laboratory.

Laboratory visits had a positive impact on the participants and FE UNY. For participants, this visit can provide additional experience and knowledge that is not necessarily obtained in class, while for FE UNY, visits will certainly introduce the faculty and the various benefits of its services to the public.
