Politeknik Negeri Jember (POLIJE) officially welcomed a group of students and lecturers from the Academy of Language Studies (APB), Universiti Teknologi MARA Melaka Branch (UiTMCM), Malaysia, as part of the International Mobility and Community Service Program. This program is a joint initiative between POLIJE and UiTM Melaka aimed at strengthening academic collaboration and fostering cross-cultural learning experiences between Indonesia and Malaysia.

The delegation, consisting of ten students and two lecturers, departed from Malaysia and arrived safely at Juanda International Airport, Surabaya. They were warmly received by representatives from POLIJE’s International Affairs Office (KUI), who then accompanied the group on their journey to Jember. Despite the long travel, the participants were filled with enthusiasm and excitement for the week-long activities awaiting them at POLIJE.

All participating students are enrolled in the English for Professional Communication (LG120) program at UiTM Melaka. They include Muhammad Aish Danial Bin Mohd Imran, Ainuriz Sufiya Binti Sahnnon, Aisyah Huda Binti Nor Azam, Batrisyia Binti Mohd Shariffuddin, Nur Aina Afiqah Bt Mohd Azhan, Nur Aifa Aqilah Bt Mohd Azhan, Nur Imanina Nabila Binti Azli, Nur Nabihah Syafiqah Binti Rasidi, Maryam Humaira Binti Mohd Shahrizaifuddy, and Nur Husnina Binti Nor’Azari.

The students were accompanied by two lecturers, Ms. Nur Aqilah Norwahi and Ms. Nurshaza Farah Md Sharif, both from the Academy of Language Studies (APB). Their guidance and supervision play a vital role in ensuring that the program runs smoothly and achieves its academic and community service objectives.

Upon arrival at POLIJE, the UiTM delegation was greeted with hospitality from POLIJE officials, student representatives, and members of the organizing committee. The atmosphere was filled with warmth and camaraderie as both institutions celebrated the continuation of their partnership, which has been strengthened through several collaborative programs over the years.

During their stay, the UiTM students will take part in a range of activities, including English teaching workshops, cultural sharing sessions, and community engagement programs in nearby schools and villages. These activities aim to promote cross-cultural understanding, enhance communication skills, and provide valuable international exposure for all participants.

The International Mobility and Community Service Program also serves as an avenue for both institutions to exchange best practices in language learning and educational innovation. Through this initiative, POLIJE and UiTM Melaka hope to inspire students to become globally competent individuals who contribute positively to their communities and professions.

The program will conclude with a Closing Ceremony on October 24, 2025, at Politeknik Negeri Jember. The event will highlight the outcomes and experiences gained during the program, celebrating the success of this international collaboration between Indonesia and Malaysia in advancing education, culture, and mutual understanding.
