The program consists of 3 months learning from experts on the field including enhancing knowledge and skills of students to have a more hands on experience. Dwiky Cahya Suhendra, GREE’s intern, will witness the construction and the grid connection in Lampung during his internship. Exposure to real situations on site will prepare students when they enter the workforce in the future.

“I hope through the internship in GREE I can understand more about the process of generating electricity from tapioca waste. Additionally, I would also like to learn more about the electrical industry.” – Dwiky, student at SMK Ora et Labora on his expectations from the internship program in Lampung.

Stay tuned for updates from Dwiky, as he shares on what he learned during the internship in GREE!
