On Saturday, October 31, 2020, the Indonesian MPI Study Program Association (read: PPMPI) held a seminar based on a zoom room meeting called a Webinar. This activity is part of a series of Webinar Series held by PPMPI chaired by Dr. Sri Rahmi, M.A. The webinar series participants are MPI study program academics throughout Indonesia, both lecturers and students.

The webinar with the theme "MPI Students as Agents of Change in the Midst of a Pandemic" managed to grab the attention of nearly 450 participants, consisting of the Head of Study Programs and Secretaries of MPI Study Programs, lecturers, and students. This activity presented speakers from the Chairperson of Permapendis and Deputy Chairperson of PPMPI (Dr. Badrudin, M.Ag.), Deputy Chairperson of Permapendis as well as Entrepreneur Practitioner in the field of entertainment (Abdullah Aminuddin Aziz, M.Pd.I), and Secretary of MPI UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta at the same time literacy activist (Nora Saiva Jannana, M.Pd.).

Through this theme, Dr. Badrudin, M.Ag., conveyed how to print an authoritarian leader and manager profile for MPI students. We all know that one of the advantages of the MPI study program is that students are trained to become leaders or are provided with leadership skills. It is not enough to have expertise in managing people; MPI students must also be able to create jobs, at least for themselves. As an Entrepreneur Practitioner, Abdullah Aminuddin Aziz, M.Pd.I conveyed the vast opportunities for MPI students to pursue the entrepreneurial field. He explained that, during this pandemic, the creative economy in the culinary field was the most popular among the public. Followed after that, there is the field of fashion and printing. MPI students can pursue this field by continuously developing the potential that God has given to His servants. Aminuddin Aziz, M.Pd.I also conveyed the differences in blessings and misfortunes for every success and human wealth, both material and immaterial. MPI students must be good at identifying blessings and calamities, so they always depend on Allah SWT in every endeavor to succeed.

To become a true entrepreneur is not enough to have leadership skills. Nora Saiva Jannana, M.Pd., said that as a human being who lives in the 21st century, one must have several skills classified into three categories, namely Learning Skills (4C), Literacy Skills (IMT), and Life Skills (FLIPS). Learning skills consist of Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, and Communication. Literacy Skills consist of Information Literacy, Media Literacy, and Technology Literacy. Furthermore, Life Skills consist of Flexibility, Leadership Skills, Initiative, Productivity, and Social Skills. Facing life after the Covid 19 pandemic, students must be creative and innovative to survive the swift world disruption. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed people's behavior, including a stay at home life skills, the bottom of the pyramid (Maslow's pyramid), going virtual, and empathic society. MPI students can develop creativity amid a pandemic starting from the environment around their residence. In addition, they can pursue the entrepreneurial field by paying attention to changes in behavior and creative economic trends during and after the Covid 19 pandemic. (NSJ)
