"The main requirements for participants include Indonesian citizens, maximum graduates in the last year from universities registered with the Ministry of Education and Culture, and willing to follow the entire selection and placement process in the PalmCo working area," he said.

In addition to receiving wages, said Jatmiko, interns will receive direct assistance from mentors at work locations, internship allowances, and official certificates from PTPN IV PalmCo and the Ministry of Manpower after the program ends.
