SLEMAN (KRjogja.com) - Fakultas Ekonomi (FE) UPN 'Veteran' Yogyakarta menjalin kerja sama dengan PT  Jalatama Artha Berjangka dan PT Bursa Berjangka Jakarta. Kedua perusahaan tersebut bergerak dibidang  bursa komoditas.

Penandatanganan Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) dilakukan di Ruang Seminar FE UPN 'Veteran'  Yogyakarta, Kamis (10/10/2013). Dari PT Bursa Berjangka Jakarta, dilakukan direktur M Binar Sakti  Wibowo, PT Jalatama Artha Berjangka oleh Dirut Jacob Ongkowidjoyo. Sedangkan UPN diwakili Dekan FE,  Drs Sijatmika MSi, karena Rektor Prof DR Didit Welly Udjianto MS sedang sakit.

Joko Susanto selalu Manager Proyek kepada <I>KR<P> mengatakan, kerja sama ini diharapkan bisa  menjembatani antara dunia kerja dengan akademik. Apalagi selama ini masyarakat hanya paham, bahwa yang  namanya bursa itu hanya saham saja. Seperti yang ada di Bursa Efek Jakarta (BEJ). Padahal Indonesia memiliki  kekayaan dalam hal bursa komoditas.

"Kita punya karet, batu bara dan sumber daya alam lainnya. Namun kita tidak bisa menentukan harga sendiri dan  harus di luar negeri. Kami mengharapkan, mahasiswa bisa lebih paham akan kondisi yang ada. Apalagi selama  ini mereka hanya mendapatkan teori ketika kuliah, tanpa tahu langsung apa yang sebenarnya terjadi di  lapangan. Untuk itu selain penandatangan MoU, juga dilakukan kuliah umum," katanya. (Awh)
