JAKARTA - Presidential Chief of Staff Dr. Moeldoko directly ensured that the interview selection process for the participants of the Presidential Staff School (SSP), at the Krida Bhakti Jakarta building, went well and according to the rules.

"This Presidential Staff School is a space for young people to gain experience in how to solve state problems. Therefore, I will oversee this program directly, starting from the selection process until its implementation later," said Moeldoko, quoted from a written statement, Thursday, July 14.

For information, SSP is a program of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP) which is a field for national leadership incubators for future leaders of the nation to become statesmen of the future.

According to Moeldoko, through SSP, young talents will see and learn how experts in KSP manage national priority programs (PSN) and debottlenecking obstacles that occur in the field. This, he added, will add insight and capital for participants to become future leaders.

"Young people today have a lot of knowledge because of technology. But they lack experience. Well, in this SSP they will get strategic, tactical, and practical work experience within the Presidential Palace," said Moeldoko.

In addition, the 2013-2015 TNI Commander also denied the stigma that young people did not care about state affairs. This is evidenced by the great interest of young people to register at SSP.

"It is proven that once the registration of the SSP was opened, the number of registrants reached more than sixty thousand. This is proof that young people also want to contribute to managing the country," he said.

In addition to reviewing the selection process, Moeldoko also directly interviewed one of the candidates named Shania binti Mahir Hamdun who presented his ideas and creations related to trauma healing for children exposed to COVID-19.

The implementation of the SSP program has entered the interview selection process. The screening process is carried out in a marathon for five days, from 11-15 July 2022, at the Krida Bhakti building, Jakarta.

One hundred candidates who passed the previous selection process, must be able to convince and prove in front of KSP Experts that they deserve to be in the incubation room of the country's leadership.

Since the registration was opened on 16-29 June 2022, there have been 69,586 registrants.

From that number, the selection team again screened the participants by assessing the participants' writings, whether they met the requirements for originality, could be applied, and were not plagiarized. In addition, the leadership spirit and organizational experience of the participants were also taken into consideration in the assessment.

As a result, 100 candidates were selected who were declared eligible to undergo a selection interview with KSP Experts.

"From the 100 candidates, 35 people will be selected, who will officially join the SSP program from July 25 to 29," explained KSP Main Expert, Agung Rulianto.
