The event took place from 10.30 to 12.10 WIB and was attended by students of the Regular Undergraduate Psychology study program and the International Undergraduate Program (IUP) Psychology, Faculty of Psychology UGM.
Budi Mumandari, the speaker at this event, was the Vice President for Human Resources of PT British Petroleum. In this event, he shared his career journey from college to work at British Petroleum.
In her presentation Budi focused on three points of discussion, namely recognizing what British Petroleum (BP) is, what it does at British Petroleum in managing human resources in it, and what competencies are needed to be able to compete in international companies.
