The Impactful Internship Program is one of the flagship programs of the Undergraduate Statistics Study Program, designed to provide students with hands-on experience in applying statistical knowledge within government and public sector activities.

Throughout the internship period, students actively participated in various activities such as sectoral data processing, statistical analysis, preparation of data publications, survey assistance, and the digitalization of statistical information. These activities not only strengthened students’ technical competencies but also equipped them with a deeper understanding of the crucial role of statistics in supporting regional development.

In addition to serving as a platform for applied learning, the Impactful Internship Program also functioned as a means of promoting and introducing the Undergraduate Statistics Study Program of Universitas Bengkulu to government institutions and the wider community. Through students’ contributions across various agencies, the Statistics Study Program has become increasingly recognized as an excellent, adaptive, and data-solution-oriented program.

The Coordinator of the Undergraduate Statistics Study Program, Dr. Pepi Novianti, S.Si., M.Si., expressed her appreciation to all partner institutions for their strong support and cooperation throughout the internship implementation. “An impactful internship is not only about field-based learning, but also about building trust and expanding partnership networks between the university and government institutions. This is a concrete step in introducing the Undergraduate Statistics Study Program of UNIB as a strategic partner in the management and analysis of sectoral data,” she stated.

Although the internship activities at partner institutions have concluded, students will proceed to the next stage, which involves preparing final reports and developing impactful outputs derived from their analyses during the internship. These outputs will take the form of data products, statistical visualizations, and analytical recommendations that can be utilized by partner institutions to support data-driven policymaking.

Through this program, the Undergraduate Statistics Study Program of Universitas Bengkulu continues to strengthen its commitment to building academic and sectoral synergies, while affirming the strategic role of statistics in supporting sustainable regional development.
