The program titled " Muslim@Meta Indonesia Digital Workshop, Career Learning & Breaking Fast Together " is designed to provide insight into the digital ecosystem and career opportunities in the technology industry.

The event, which started at 16:30 WIB, was hosted by Nindita Herdiyanti, Marketing Science Partner of Meta Indonesia. The event was divided into several main sessions, starting with an introduction to Meta, followed by Career Talk, Games, Reels School, and ending with breaking the fast together.

" We hope that this program can broaden students' knowledge about the digital industry, especially the Meta ecosystem, and provide a real picture of the career paths they can take after graduating, " said Nindita when opening the event.

In the Career Talk session, two Meta professionals shared their valuable experiences. Putra Arfiana, Client Solutions Manager, emphasized the advantages of the work environment at Meta which offers high flexibility. " One of the things I value most at Meta is the flexibility in working. This is an aspect that I did not get in my previous workplace and it is very helpful in career development, " explained Putra.

Meanwhile, Andika Seto Wicaksono who also serves as Client Solutions Manager highlighted the importance of professional networks built during his career at Meta. " The most memorable thing while working at Meta is the networking opportunity. Here, we can interact with various professionals from leading companies, " said Andika.

Andika also emphasized the importance of a spirit of continuous learning. " In pursuing a career, the principle of 'Never Stop Learning' is very important. Always have the will to learn new things and develop yourself, " he added.

Complementing the two speakers, Nindita also shared her views on being proactive towards opportunities. " Open to the opportunity. For every opportunity that is in front of our eyes, gass. Because we can always develop as long as we are willing to learn, the important thing is to believe in ourselves, " she said.

One of the most engaging sessions for attendees was Reels School, hosted by Adam, Meta’s Client Solutions Manager. In this session, Adam explained various strategies for creating effective and engaging Reels content.

" There are many ways to create great Reels. You can create educational content that is relatable or entertaining content that teaches something in a fun way, " Adam explained.

Adam introduces some popular content formats, including the " transition sequence ," which uses transition techniques such as jump cuts or swipe cuts to create interesting visual effects. He also explains the " comedy skit " format, which is effective for connecting with an audience through humor.

This session also discusses the technical aspects of creating Reels, starting from audio selection, use of effects, duration settings (15, 30, 60, 90 seconds, or 3 minutes), speed settings, layout, to using a timer to record without using hands.

The students who attended seemed enthusiastic in following the entire series of events. The event closed with breaking the fast together, which was an opportunity for students to establish connections with Meta Indonesia professionals in a more relaxed but still productive atmosphere.

This Media Visit is proof of Meta Indonesia's commitment to supporting the development of young Indonesian digital talents, especially in the month of Ramadan. Through this program, students not only gain theoretical knowledge but also practical insights from professionals who have experience in the technology and digital media industry.
