July 14, 2026
When choosing a university, one of the most frequently asked questions by prospective students and parents is, “Do UMN graduates find jobs easily?”
This question is very important. After all, the purpose of higher education is not only to earn a degree but also to prepare oneself to build a career, become an entrepreneur, or contribute to the professional world.
Amid rapidly changing industries driven by technological advancements and Artificial Intelligence (AI), companies also have new expectations of university graduates. They are looking not only for graduates with academic knowledge but also for individuals who can think critically, adapt, collaborate, use technology, and solve real-world challenges.
So, what about graduates of Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (UMN)?
90% of UMN Graduates Are Already Employed or Running a Business Before Graduation
This figure shows that many students have already secured career opportunities even before officially completing their studies.
However, this achievement does not happen by chance. There is a learning process and ecosystem designed to prepare students for industry needs from the very start of their studies.
Why Do UMN Graduates Have Good Career Prospects?
Today’s workforce requires more than just academic grades.
Companies are looking for graduates who can solve problems, work in teams, adapt to change, lead, think creatively, and understand technological developments such as AI. Additionally, awareness of sustainability has also become an increasingly important competency across various industries.
Therefore, UMN has developed a learning process that focuses not only on theory but also on developing competencies relevant to the Digital Society 5.0 era.
Students are encouraged to develop problem-solving skills, adaptability, collaboration, leadership, creativity, innovation, AI proficiency, and sustainability awareness through a curriculum, projects, and learning experiences that are closely aligned with industry needs.
Not Just Studying, But Also Building Experience
One of the factors that better prepares graduates to enter the workforce is experience.
During their studies, students have the opportunity to participate in various projects, organizational activities, competitions, internships, and industry collaborations. These experiences help students develop both technical and soft skills that are highly sought after by companies, such as communication, leadership, collaboration, and problem-solving.
Thus, upon graduation, students do not only carry a diploma but also experience that adds value when entering the workforce.
UMN Also Has a Career Development Center (CDC)
Career preparation for students at UMN is not limited to classroom learning. To support students’ transition into the professional world, UMN also has a Career Development Center (CDC).
UMN’s CDC serves as a bridge between students, alumni, and industry. Through this platform, students and alumni can access information about various internship opportunities and job vacancies from partner companies.
The CDC helps students get closer to industry needs, enabling them to begin building professional experience even before graduating.
UMN’s Support Does Not Stop After Graduation
The student journey does not end when they officially become alumni.
UMN has the Alumni Family of Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (KAMI UMN), a platform that helps alumni stay connected with their alma mater and fellow graduates.
Through KAMI UMN, alumni can expand their professional networks, access career development information, participate in various alumni activities, and continue building relationships with the UMN community. The presence of this alumni network is one form of support that ensures graduates continue to grow and collaborate, even after entering the workforce.
Conclusion
The data showing that 90% of UMN graduates are already employed or running a business before graduation demonstrates that UMN’s learning process is designed to meet the needs of an ever-evolving workforce.
Supported by a relevant curriculum, project-based learning experiences, internship opportunities, the Career Development Center (CDC), and an alumni network through KAMI UMN, students are prepared to build their careers even before officially becoming graduates.
