Hi all, kindly review my essay about career plan, I am planning to apply for the Chevening Scholarship.
Chevening is looking for individuals who have a clear post-study career plan. Please outline your immediate plans upon returning home and your longer-term career goals. You may wish to consider how these relate to what the UK government is doing in your country.
After finishing the postgraduate study, my plan is to go back to my current company, XXXX. Currently, XXXX is aiming to simplify people and money problems that faced by business owner through technology. Creating an open cloud platform will give them insights to make decisions for a sustainable business growth. Working in XXXX give me chance to be involved in Indonesia's creative economy growth, especially in the digital development sector. I believe that I can apply the theoretical knowledge during my study to help technology companies like XXXX develop the products and its services to be the best in Indonesia because in the next 5 years the technology business trends will shifting from e-commerce market to B2B SaaS (Software as a Service) platform solution. By following this industry from the beginning, I will ace the right skills, mindset, and authority in leading the digital development transformation in Indonesia.
My plan aligned with the agreements between The British and Indonesian Government in technology and innovation partnerships in 2016 and still running until now. The agreements support collaboration between Indonesian Ministry's Directorate General for Innovation Enhancement and the UK Royal Academy of Engineering which will provide fully funded intensive training for Indonesian "technopreneurs". By collaborating with the UK scientific community under the Newton Fund programme, Indonesia can develop the capacity if its own innovators to be able to tackle developmental challenges. Human resource and its education will become an asset to its country especially in facing the growth of the creative economy nowadays.
By completing education in the best university in the UK and see or learn the best practices of technology innovation and entrepreneurial environment in the UK, I believe I can fulfill one of the objectives of UK-Indonesia agreements which is to promote and improve human resources development for creative industries. The B2B SaaS are facing a unique situation in Indonesia now, SaaS industries must take the role as the educator since cloud adoption itself is still low and the cloud concept is viewed with skepticism here in Indonesia. I choose to take a part of being the educator for the customer. Often, we found that SMBs (Small Medium Business) has lack of accountability in their business. Being the educator allows me to involved in building the right product that suitable with the needs of the customer and also involved in helping companies in Indonesia to adopt SaaS as their solution so then, their business can be accountable and sustainable. This also becomes an opportunity for us to create a more sustainable business in Indonesia. By combining creativity and technology it will create explosive economic growth for Indonesia.
To summarize, my career aspiration is to be involved in the growth of the creative economy especially in digital development. Once people starting to trust the cloud, the acceleration of technology solution will fly exponentially and at the same time, I believe there will be more fruitful bilateral collaboration in science and innovation between UK and Indonesia.
