Great Giant Foods (GGF) Lampung and Gajah Mada University (UGM) Yogyakarta held Career Seminars for students and recent graduates. UGM is committed to preparing its graduates to be able to compete in the world of work.

The Career Seminar was held in a webinar entitled Is Management Trainee the Right Way to Begin Your Career Journey, Monday (17/4/23), by presenting two resource persons from Gajah Mada University who already have career positions at GGF, namely, Daisy Metria as People Partner Agri and Recruitment Department Head and Muhamat Fitra Adi are participating in the LEAP GGF Shopper Marketing Agri Business program graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture.

This event is a collaborative project between GGF and UGM that aims to provide insight to undergraduate students and recent graduates on how to start their career journey through the management trainee program.

The webinar, moderated by Adinda Raisa, also provided practical knowledge in writing and preparing cover letters as well as practical knowledge in facing interviews. The seminar also provided insight into job opportunities and the importance of soft skills in facing the world of work.
“Is management trainee the right choice to start your career journey?,” said the question asked by moderator Adinda when opening the seminar.
Before delivering the material, Daisy as the resource person explained at a glance about how GGF runs its business which is carried out in an integrated manner from one business unit to another.

“GGF itself has subsidiaries engaged in plantations (Pineapple, Banana, Crystal Guava, red), Tapioca Flour production, cattle fattening, Hometown fresh milk, and Bromelain Enzyme,” Daisy said.

Then what about the career journey at GGF? Daisy explained that the current condition is a talent war where all companies attract each other to need good talent. While to get this need is limited because it must be adjusted to the requirements of someone can be accepted.

GGF has Training Development which already has a curriculum for leadership programs, technical programs for worker development. So the company can take its talent from internal according to the needs of the developer through promotion, he continued.

Daisy further explained that career is the stage of development or work experience of a person during work. So you can’t come to ask what about his career if you don’t have work experience.

“Children now want to know first how their careers are while companies will also see what their work experience and abilities are like,” Daisy said.
Career itself is a series of positions, tasks, and opportunities that a person has during work in the form of competencies that combine skills, knowledge, experience and this is realized by behavior.

“If it cannot be realized with a form of behavior, it is not competence,” said Daisy
Job seekers should also know where their passion is? For example, agriculture or plantations are certainly in the village, do not be carried with life in the city. Must be able to adapt to the world of work.

“It is impossible for companies that adapt to finding work but instead looking for work that must adapt to the work environment, the most important thing for job seekers is to adapt to the world of work, so they must first know where their passion is,” Daisy concluded

Head of the Lampung Agricultural Technology Assessment Center (BPTP), Jekvy Hendra, attended the LOB Corn and Rice Prototyping Project 2023-2024 Kickoff event, which was held at the Great Giant Foods (GGF) Training Center Building, Terbanggibesar, Wednesday (8/3)

The kickoff of LOB for the development of Corn and Rice crop demplot was officially opened by GGF Protein and Plant Based Business CEO Josep Lay marked by Gong beating, accompanied by Technical Advisor for Plantation and R&D Fauzan, LOB & Compost Production Head Pardi Tanojo, Plant Based Production Head Adas Widiasmoro, and Compost Department Head Remy.

The event was also attended by farmer groups from three districts, Central Lampung, East Lampung, and South Lampung who will be involved in the rice and corn crop demplot project.

On the occasion, in front of the participants of the launch of the demplot program, Josep Lay, explained that LOB has been produced for approximately 12 years and this has been successfully applied in the company’s internal gardens for pineapple crops and other commodities such as bananas, guavas and cassava plants.

The mission of the company’s founder is how pineapple plantation as the main business can achieve excellent garden productivity. Until now, everything can be realized by the company with the birth of LOB.

“This good hope can also be felt by farmers to get better agricultural results. By applying LOB, of course, plants are healthier and more importantly can provide added value benefits for farmers, “said Josep Lay.

Furthermore, he emphasized that LOB deliberately chose Lampung as the prototyping of the demplot, hoping that it could be expanded and expanded after conducting studies, especially in Central Lampung, East Lampung, and South Lampung regencies.

It turns out that the use of chemical fertilizers in these three districts has almost reached Rp 6 trillion. This is remarkable and some fertilizers are still imported. LOB does not want to ‘eliminate’ chemical fertilizers, but we only try to reduce the use of chemicals so that the soil is healthier, he said.

“There is still a long way to go, especially talking about plants, not just counting days. We want this demplot to be up to three seasons so that it is proven and there is trust because farmers need real evidence in the field,” concluded Josep Lay.

We really try to provide LOB products that are very quality controlled so that when LOB reaches the hands of consumers it really suits its application and provides always better results, continued Adas Widiasmoro.

“LOB production is strictly quality controlled. Hopefully what has been felt internally can also be felt by farmers so that they can grow and develop together so that agricultural land will also benefit from improved soil fertility,” said Adas.

What is being witnessed today at the Great Giant Pineapple is a far cry from what it was 22 years ago. The changes are quite a lot and the most important thing is that the changes do not change by themselves but are carried out land arrangement with a very basic concentration, said Jekvy Hendra who has known PT GGP since he was a student.
