In today’s changing economy, understanding money is super important for young people. To help them out, University of International Jakarta (UNIJI) recently invited PT Kiwoom Sekuritas Indonesia to give a talk about the basics of investing and how to manage your stock portfolio.

Oktavianus Audi Kasmarandana, Vice President and Head of Equity Retail at Kiwoom Sekuritas Indonesia, led the session and shared his real-world knowledge from Indonesia’s stock market. This talk helped students learn the basics of investing and how their financial choices today can shape their future.

One important part of the discussion was about inflation and how living costs are going up. Over time, you can’t buy as much with the same amount of money, which makes it harder to depend only on your job. This was shown with numbers that showed how much less money you can buy with over the years. Because of this, students were encouraged to think about other ways to earn money and understand why investing is so important.

Kiwoom Sekuritas Indonesia explained three main types of income: active income, passive income, and portfolio income. They especially talked about portfolio income, which comes from things like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, as a key part of making your money last. Students learned that investing isn’t just about making money, but about making smart choices and planning for the future.

One key thing we learned from the session is that investing in stocks is quite different from gambling. When you invest in stocks, you’re essentially buying a piece of a company, and you have the chance to earn money through dividends and as the company grows. To help students make smart choices, we also introduced them to fundamental and technical analysis, which are popular ways to look at investment chances.

Besides the good stuff, the session also talked about the risks of investing, like market ups and downs, possible losses, and things like companies being taken off the stock market. This balanced view helps students see that doing well in investing takes knowledge, staying disciplined, and managing risks properly.

This partnership shows UNIJI’s dedication to giving students more than just books. By connecting students with people in the industry, UNIJI makes sure they’re learning things that matter, are useful, and match what’s needed in the real world. Students aren’t just getting ready to graduate on time; they’re also getting the mindset and skills to handle financial challenges and opportunities down the road.

Through things like this, UNIJI keeps showing that it’s a forward-thinking school that connects education with the industry, helping students become not just graduates, but people who can make smart choices in a world that’s getting more complicated all the time.

UNIJI students had a blast getting creative at the “Make Your Own Tangyuan” workshop on Thursday, March 5, from 11:30 to 13:00 on the 8th Floor of Jakarta International Tower. This interactive event brought together UNIJI students who were excited to dive into Chinese culinary culture and make their own sweet rice dumplings.

Tangyuan, a traditional Chinese dessert made from glutinous rice flour and often enjoyed during celebrations, represents togetherness, unity, and happiness. During the workshop, participants learned how to shape colorful tangyuan balls and fill them with various delicious ingredients. With the help of instructors, students mixed ingredients, rolled out the dough, and experimented with different flavors while enjoying the lively atmosphere.

Besides learning a new recipe, the event became a fun social space where students connected, laughed, and shared their creations. With gloves on and ingredients ready, participants experienced the joy of making food together turning a simple dessert into a memorable cultural exchange.

This event open only to UNIJI regular program students, had a limited number of spots, making it a highly anticipated activity on campus. Many students were excited about the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Asian culinary traditions while enjoying a hands-on experience outside the classroom.

Through activities like this, UNIJI continues to promote multicultural learning and student engagement, creating opportunities for students to explore global cultures in an interactive way.
