In order to be employed, an individual needs to not only have the required knowledge but also a skill set that would allow the individual to perform the task well. Both the required knowledge and the skill set needed can be obtained from tertiary education at universities and higher institutions. However, it seems that graduates are lacking in that skill set, namely, soft skills. This paper is a systemic review on what soft skills employers value and yet are lacking among graduates and what are the roles of universities and the government pertaining to this issue. The findings have shown that the graduates are lacking soft skills that are highly valued by the employers. To overcome this issue,, universities and the government has a part to play in order to build and develop the nation’s human capital.

Internship becomes a way to grow human resource capabilities in terms of competencies on knowledge or practical and soft skills. Higher education institutions like universities as the organizers of an internship program certainly have some roles to produce capable, intelligent and professional workforce. Therefore, it is undeniable that a good internship program in university is an important stage in the development of quality human resources. Our research aims to uncover the description of the system of organizing internships at university level, in order to obtain a comprehensive picture of the program's objectives in preparation for students to enter the workforce life. In this research, we also specifically portrayed the management of internships at the best ex-LPTK (Lembaga Pendidikan Tenaga Kependidikan) universities in Indonesia, as the institutions whose mission is to produce graduates as teaching staff/academics along with practitioners. We use mixed-method to earn our data from lecturers, superintendents and staffs of internship programs as well as the students at ex-LPTK universities. Overall, the internship programs at these universities have been managed with the orientation on the interests of students, have adopted the use of technology, and are evaluated routinely based on feedback from internal and external parties of the university. The lack of internship and the organization of the mentoring system conducted by the lecturers become the major deficiencies in organizing internships at the universities. These can be used as a basis to put on efforts to improve the internship system at the university level, especially in Indonesia.

Kuliah sambil bekerja dapat menimbulkan perubahan dalam aktivitas belajar mahasiswa. Hal ini dapat berisiko terhadap aktivitas perkuliahannya. Setiap keputusan yang diambil pasti mengandung risiko. Ketidakpastian dari sebuah keputusan membuat sebagian individu tertarik untuk mengambil risiko. Individu yang mengambil risiko bertujuan mencapai hasil yang diinginkan tanpa menghiraukan risiko yang diperoleh dari keputusan yang diambil. Ketakutan akan kegagalan membuat individu enggan untuk mengambil risiko. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran pengambilan risiko pada mahasiswa yang bekerja. Desain penelitian ini yaitu deskriptif kuantitatif. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan purposive sampling. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 100 mahasiswa yang bekerja, minimal semester 5 dan berusia 18 -25 tahun. Metode pengambilan data menggunakan skala Pengambilan Risiko dengan analisis deskriptif. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa pengambilan risiko pada mahasiswa bekerja pada kategori sedang sebesar 75%, yang berarti bahwa mahasiswa yang bekerja cenderung memilih pekerjaan yang memiliki kesulitan sedang dan telah memperhitungkan risiko yang akan diperoleh, sehingga keputusan yang dipilih dapat terselesaikan secara maksimal.
