Development of IT, creative Economics, Creative Technology was growth so fast market needs Increase in many areas

NOT AVAILABLE of Study Program to answer the Market Need Need a team to provide a new study program

There are NOT permanent standard to check the quality of knowledge, skill & competence need to make a National Competency Standardization (NCS)

Many graduates have different compotent from the same study program need a team to make a standardising compotent
