Generally, the main goal of Government Science students when they graduate is to work in government agencies, both central and regional. Apart from being a forum for the application of knowledge learned during lectures, working in the government bureaucracy is also for the sake of prestige. However, over time where the world of work is increasingly dynamic and flexible, it turns out that Government Science graduates can survive in the private sector. Moreover, job opportunities in the bureaucracy are also minimal, so it opens up opportunities for alumni of UMM Malang to work in private companies. This phenomenon was reflected in the Alumni Talk activity initiated by the UMM Government Science Laboratory Thursday, June 18, 2020. This relaxed discussion via zoom meeting presented Muhammad Munir (General Affair 3TV, RCTI and Building Management Division Head-MNC Group) and Bagus Pamuji Raharjo (Bussines). Representative KN 3.

The position must master the law and relationship with Government Agencies. Over time, the key to success is achieved; besides understanding the sciences taught in Governmental Sciences, the organizational experience aspect is also advantageous.

The key is time management skills and continuous learning. Graduates of Government Science must apply these two things if they want to succeed in the private sector. The same thing was also expressed by Bagus Pramdio who saw that many courses such as policy analysis, social and political forces, Conflict Management, and Consensus were very useful in sharpening his analysis at work, especially in seeing the potential for market development and organizational management. The ability to analyze problems helps understand the reality in the field and solve problems.
