Under the theme “Beyond the Algorithm: Creating Human Impact,” the 2026 Polibatam Graduation Ceremony highlighted the importance of vocational education graduates in responding to technological advancements while creating a positive impact on society. The theme reflected Polibatam’s commitment to developing graduates who possess not only strong technical competencies but also adaptability, innovation, and social responsibility.
The graduation ceremony was conducted over three days, organized by academic department. Graduates from the Department of Management and Business attended the ceremony on November 3, followed by the Department of Informatics Engineering on November 4, and the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering on November 5, 2026. This arrangement ensured that the ceremonies proceeded smoothly and solemnly while providing memorable experiences for graduates and their families.
In his remarks, the Director of Polibatam, Ir. Bambang Hendrawan, S.T., M.S.M., CIPMP., CISCP., congratulated all graduates and expressed his appreciation for their dedication, perseverance, and academic achievements. He emphasized that graduation does not mark the end of learning but rather the beginning of a new journey to apply the knowledge, skills, and experiences gained throughout their studies.
Bambang also expressed his pride in graduates who had already entered the workforce or chosen entrepreneurship as their career path. Meanwhile, he encouraged those still seeking employment to remain optimistic and pursue career opportunities aligned with their competencies and areas of expertise.
One of the notable achievements of the 2026 graduation was that 50.4 percent of graduates had already secured employment, particularly in Batam, across the Riau Islands Province, and overseas. This achievement demonstrates Polibatam’s contribution to preparing highly skilled human resources who meet industry demands and are capable of competing in both national and international labor markets.
Strengthening Graduate Competencies Through Project-Based Learning
As a vocational higher education institution, Polibatam continues to implement Project-Based Learning (PBL), an educational approach that integrates academic learning with practical projects and real-world problem-solving. Through this approach, students gain not only theoretical knowledge but also valuable hands-on experience in innovation, teamwork, and addressing challenges relevant to industry needs.
Collaboration with industry partners, lecturers, and various stakeholders further strengthens students’ readiness to navigate the evolving professional landscape. The competencies and experiences acquired throughout their studies provide a strong foundation for graduates to pursue professional careers, establish businesses, continue their education, or contribute to community development.
Beyond celebrating academic accomplishments, the 2026 Graduation Ceremony also served as an opportunity to recognize the dedication of students, the unwavering support of their families, and the commitment of lecturers and educational staff who accompanied them throughout their academic journeys. Every degree awarded represents years of hard work, perseverance, and a continuous commitment to personal and professional growth.
Through this graduation ceremony, Polibatam hopes that all graduates will become competent, professional, and ethical individuals who can adapt to technological developments while providing innovative solutions and meaningful benefits to their communities.
Equipped with the knowledge, skills, and experiences gained during their studies, the 2,505 graduates of Polibatam’s Class of 2026 are expected to continue moving forward, creating meaningful work, and making a positive impact on society, industry, and national development.
Congratulations to all Polibatam graduates of 2026. Keep moving forward, creating impact, and inspiring others.
