Prof. Rahmat’s expertise aligns with the research focus of the COMNETS Research Group, particularly in computer networks and cybersecurity. His international contributions have been marked by numerous publications in world-renowned journals, awards, and involvement in various grants and research projects abroad. Prof. Rahmat’s visit to Sriwijaya University serves as a strategic opportunity to bring together the expertise of Indonesian academics working abroad with the UNSRI academic community. In addition to providing insights into the latest developments in science and technology, this event is also aimed at opening opportunities for international research collaboration and strengthening the capabilities of young researchers. The event was officially opened by a representative from the Alumni Subdirectorate of Sriwijaya University, Prof. Deris Stiawan, Ph.D. In his remarks, he addressed strategic issues regarding “Jobs and the Future of Work,” particularly concerning changes in the needs, characteristics, and paradigms of the workforce amid the development of digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI). Rapid technological change has impacted various sectors of the workforce. Layoffs in a number of industries—particularly in technology companies—as well as shifts in work patterns and job types represent challenges that college graduates must understand. Therefore, universities are not only required to produce graduates with academic competencies but also to equip them with the ability to adapt, engage in lifelong learning, think critically, and understand technological developments. This perspective is becoming increasingly relevant for students and alumni as the world of work is currently undergoing rapid transformation. The competencies required are no longer limited to specific technical skills but also include the ability to collaborate, innovate, solve problems, and adapt to new technologies. Furthermore, technology is no longer merely a tool to aid work. Technology is beginning to play a decisive role in determining which jobs are created, which jobs are transformed, which jobs disappear, and which skills become highly valued.
