Padang - The head of the Class II Railway Engineering Centre in Padang, Endang Setiawan, advised the trainees to prepare themselves in the future to advance the country's railways. This was the message from the head as he released ten interns from the Indonesian Land Transportation Polytechnic-STTD Academic Year 2023/2024 who had completed fieldwork placements at BTP Padang.

Hopefully, useful knowledge can be brought back to the working world later. Make the experience here a lesson. Remember, there is still a long way to go. Do the work later so that the railway can move forward wherever it is,' he said before dismissing the cadets a few moments ago.

The head of Balai (Kabalai) then reminded them to continue to focus on learning, because in the world of work it will be more than during the internship, because the work done must be focused and full of real demands.

Congratulations on graduating and returning to your respective families. It's been about four months here (West Sumatera); it's time to go back with new experiences and knowledge to apply later. "Congratulations and best wishes," said Kabalai.

One of the female cadets expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to study at BTP Padang. Thank you for accepting us to study here. Thank you also for guiding us and giving us good directions that we might not get anywhere else,' said Syifa Zha Kana.

Previously, from February to May 2024, 10 cadets from the Diploma III Railway Transportation Management Study Programme conducted PKL with a focus on studies such as railway planning, railway traffic and transportation, railway infrastructure, railway facilities, and safety.
