JAKARTA - President Director of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk Irfan Setiaputra said his company did not set the minimum requirements for the cumulative achievement index (IPK) at 3.00 for applicants for the management training program or Management Development Program.

This is different from other state-owned companies which make academic or GPA values must be at 3.00 as one of the requirements in the recruitment of a job.

Irfan said that the requirements for applicants for management training only graduate from strata 1 or undergraduate degrees with a minimum age of under 28.

"We require a minimum S1, at least under 28 years. One of them is that we don't require an achievement index to be above 3.00. Because those under 3.00 are not necessarily stupid. Like me it's under 3.00," he said during a joint meeting with Commission VI of the DPR, at the DPR RI Building, Jakarta, Wednesday, July 3.

Irfan emphasized that Garuda does not view certain universities in recruitment requirements.

Even so, continued Irfan, the company is trying to balance the background of management transition participants between the majority and minorities. Such as Buddhist participants or participants from Eastern Indonesia.

"So, for those who are minority we prioritize, for example religion, we accept several Buddhist management trainers," he said.

"And some management trainers from Eastern Indonesia, so we balance as much as possible, we can't always be from Jakarta," he continued.
