Two speakers were invited in this webinar to discuss the theme of ‘the Role of Youth Generation Through Local Wisdom-Based Strategy and Innovation in Welcoming the 5.0 Society Era.’ They are Hankenina Deafinola (Language Ambassador for DIY 2021) and Afrizal Mufti (Language Ambassadors for Central Java 2019).

In the first session, Hankenina Deafinola delivered material about the challenges and life skills needed in the 5.0 era. “In the 5.0 era, there are several jobs that will increase and decrease. Career on data analytics, big data specialists, information security analysts, digital marketing and strategy specialists, internet of things specialists, fintech engineers, database engineers, and network professionals, will continue to grow,” she explained.

Meanwhile, several fields that will keep decreasing, such as data entry clerks, accounting, bookkeeping and payroll clerks, administrative and executive secretaries, accountants and auditors, general and operation managers, business services and administration managers, human resources specialists, client information and customer service workers, assembly and factory workers, bank tellers and related clerks.

“Furthermore, the skills that must be mastered include creativity, initiative, problem-solving ability, learning spirit, intelligence, critical thinking, innovation, and leadership spirit. Additionally, the ability to design and IT proficiency are also substantial,” she added.

Meanwhile, the second speaker, Afrizal Mufti, delivered material on local wisdom.

“Substantially, local wisdom is the values that prevail in the society. Values that are believed to be true and become guidelines in the community’s daily behavior. Local wisdom is a spiritual asset or life policy that teaches people how to behave,” explained the Central Java Language Ambassador.

Youth can take a role in maintaining the local wisdom by applying cultural experience and cultural knowledge. “Culture experience is cultural preservation that is carried out by going directly into a cultural experience. Meanwhile, culture knowledge is the effort in preserving culture by creating a center for cultural information that can be implemented in many forms,” concluded Afrizal. Humas UNS
