Character Building Mentoring Program This program aims to shape the character of students by teaching the 5C values of Kompas Gramedia: Caring, Credible, Competent, Competitive, and Customer-delight.

- Teamwork and Leadership Training
This program equips students with essential soft skills such as growth mindset, resourcefulness, and problem-solving. The training uses the fishbone method, a tactical approach that helps students learn how to effectively solve problems. Students will be divided into groups, each led by a team leader, and will be given case studies that cover various problem areas. The groups will then work together using the fishbone tool to identify and propose solutions to the challenges they face. The goal of this program is to train students to think critically and provide solutions, work efficiently in teams, and develop effective leadership skills to tackle challenges in the future.
